Citation:
Giroux, M. What’s Next in NanoEHS: The Young Professional’s Perspective. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) Public NanoEHS Webinar, NA, RI, March 28, 2023.
Impact/Purpose:
This panel will showcase the breadth of research being done in the nanotechnology spaces and give scientists from all sectors and the public an opportunity to see new methods to evaluate the impacts of nanoparticles on aquatic ecosystems.
Description:
The 2023 Nano Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) webinar series will focus on the questions, challenges, and breakthroughs needed to continue advancing the responsible development of nanotechnology. The 2023 theme complements the NNI's effort to refresh its 2011 nanoEHS research strategy. During this inaugural webinar, rising experts in nanoEHS will share their perspectives on the pressing issues and the main questions driving their research. The NNI recognizes the work of new investigators and emerging experts as vital to progress and innovation in this field and to inspiring the next generation of researchers. In this presentation, we will discuss the benefits of using molecular approaches to understand the community-level impacts of nanoparticles on aquatic ecosystems. A brief overview of recent research on the effects of nanoplastic and nanocopper exposure on benthic communities will be presented.
