This episode continues our conversation with Sara Brenner from SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly).

Dr. John Rogers compares the geometries of human-made circuits and the brain, shares his motivation for licensing his research, and jokes about the peril of mentoring too many undergrads (he writes a lot of letters of recommendation!).

While the tools that allow scientists to work at the nanoscale have only been around for a few decades, biology has always operated at the nanoscale.

Dr. Sara Brenner, a preventive medicine physician, chats about studying engineered nanomaterials as they relate to worker health and safety, preparing students to blaze their own trail, and how the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology could be the model for training the future workforce.

Dr. Baratunde Cola discusses building his company, making nanotechnology seem less scary, and the need for “passion and sobriety” when it comes to the expectations of working at a small nanotechnology company.

Brandon Carpenter, an entrepreneur on the 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 in science list, discusses his nanotechnology company, the challenges he’s facing, and the supportive ecosystem that helped him start his own company at 25 years old.

In this episode of Stories from the NNI, Dr. Nancy Healy chats about why we need a nano-literate public, the skills future scientists need, and how the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure is a “one-stop shop” for nanotechnology.
