I’m not sure I have any nightmares, or at least not about nano! My dreams of nano… well I guess my dreams of nano are that at the end of the day, when many new discoveries are made and many new scientific accomplishments revealed, that the end product will be a great benefit to society. And the sum of all the parts will be much larger than what we expect. That at the end, we’ll be able to make a massive contribution to the health and welfare of society in a way that’s not easily seen today. So that would be a dream. You can think of all the fantastic applications of successful technology based on nanotech, whether it’s inexpensive healthcare, to cleaner and more accurate control of our environment, to safety. In the end, that’s what most of us want to do with science, to make a substantial contribution to the health and well-being of society and, hopefully, that will be something CNSI will be able to engender in one way or the other. And I think in the end, one of the marks of science is that you leave the system in a far improved stated than you started. I don’t have any nightmares though. I don’t see the bad end of this.
