SEI Training at NNIN

All new NNN users receive training on the social and ethical implications of their work. The training includes a video on SEI issues in nanotechnology research, developed by former NNIN SEI Coordinator Dr. Doug Kysar (Yale Law School), Dr. Ana Viseu (University of Toronto), and Dr. David Guston (Arizona State University).  Dr. Kysar is also the narrator.The video can be viewed here (along with handouts based on the presentation).

Now Dr. Debasmita Patra (NNIN SEI Postdoc) has developed an oral presentation, which is delivered by her at the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) user training every Monday. This presentation addresses recent developments in the area of SEI in Nanoscience and nanotechnology and uses examples, short videos, stories, and pictures. This presentation is generally modified after receiving the feedback from the users-scientists and engineers- to make it more user-oriented and need-based.

Dr. Robert McGinn from Stanford University, an NNIN site has also developed a course and devised an ethics guideline for scientists and engineers. Please refer to SEI Research at Stanford University in this website for further information.
