| Abstract |
Purdue University is proud to facilitate such progress through the inaugural Discovery Lecture Series seminar, "Transforming Society through Emerging Technologies: The National Nanotechnology Initiative at Five Years." Sponsored by Purdue's Discovery Park, the Discovery Lecture Series is designed to serve as a forum where the nation's leading experts can share their insights with researchers and the general public, helping to promote understanding of the profound implications of constantly evolving research and technology. I would like to extend a special thanks to each of our panelists for their willingness to share insights about the vast potential of nanotechnology. I would also like to recognize the generosity and vision of the Lilly Endowment, which has committed more than $50 million to Discovery Park endeavors, including the Discovery Lecture Series. We hope this seminar will both enlighten and inspire all who attend. Martin C. Jischke |
