Slack, or something.

Watching a talk on the benefits and detriments of future nanotechnology in the school theater.

Dok,
Bets it will have the same "benefits" as Monsanto has brought us with genetic engineering.

Well, nanotubules of a particular length and width can certainly mimic asbestos.

On the other hand, there are good applications. Little information on the risks of particular materials though, because every nanoparticle of a different size shape and surface area, structure, etc, has a different effect in biological systems, some none, some massive. No stereotypes can be made about them in general, unlike in pesticides where they are toxic overall.

More research is needed. Seems to be the easy way out, but it's true.

I was referring to Monsanto's use of genetic engineering to strangle farmers via "patent violations".

Oh, most probably.

Kai, what interests do you have other than insects and masturbation? Is there anything you do to unwind after you've finished work? If there isn't now, was there something in the past? Are there any hobbies you've been wanting to try? I normally find table top rpgs to be a good way to relax, or reading fiction, but anything that can engross you in something other than what you have to work on constantly is good.

I do a lot of reading, play the classical guitar, and computer related stuffs.

I've done a little bit of everything in the past but right now there's not really the time for it. Which reminds me, I still have to finish my Behavior lab in the morning.




I've been running instead of walking to and from the bus, which has been nice.
