NanoEHS Webinar Series: Applying a Lab Safety Culture to Nanotechnology: Educating the Next Generation of Nanoscientists.  http://www.nano.gov/node/1601

"Applying a Lab Safety Culture to Nanotechnology: Educating the Next Generation of Nanoscientists," a free webinar hosted by the NNCOWednesday May 18, 2016, at 2-3 PM EDT. It is the first event in a series that describes strategies for safe development and use of nanotechnology along the life cycle of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products. This webinar will discuss how an effective culture of safety in the research laboratory facilitates safe and responsible nanomaterial research and meets the national objective of responsible development.

The goals of this webinar are to:

• Develop the rationale for safe and responsible nanotechnology.
• Build awareness of existing information resources.
• Facilitate safe nanotechnology practices within the overall lab safety culture.
• Engage industry in the discussion: share practices and expectations.
• Ensure safety training in academia is viewed as an important job skill
