Conference Support: Recruiting Students and Early Career Researchers as Participants in the 10th SNO Conference 2021

纳米技术在农业、医药、能源、包括电子产品、环境技术、交通产品和包装等消费产品中的用途越来越多。纳米技术处理的是至少在一个维度上小于十亿分之一米的材料，这些材料在性质上不一定是无害的。研究人员和制造商一直在努力使纳米材料可持续，对环境及其组件没有影响或影响最小。第十届SNO大会将于2021年11月3日至5日举行，会议将突出纳米技术研究的可持续性。今年会议的会议将讨论多个相关和新兴的主题，并提供一个自由交流思想的平台，以发展合作研究和制定未来研究方向的战略。第十届会议将在题为“可持续纳米技术的后起之秀”的会议上接待早期职业研究人员。此外，会议还将举办一个关于传染病和纳米技术的研讨会，由一系列专家参与。还将举行一次海报会议，预计本科生和研究生以及博士后学者和早期职业调查人员将广泛参与。纳米技术在农业、医药、能源、包括电子产品、环境技术、交通产品和包装等消费产品中的用途越来越多。纳米技术处理的是至少在一个维度上小于十亿分之一米的材料，这些材料在性质上不一定是无害的。研究人员和制造商一直在努力使纳米材料可持续，对环境及其组件没有影响或影响最小。第十届SNO大会将于2021年11月3日至5日举行，会议将突出纳米技术研究的可持续性。今年会议的会议将讨论多个相关和新兴的主题，并提供一个自由交流思想的平台，以发展合作研究和制定未来研究方向的战略。会议将分为以下几个部分：(1)纳米材料和先进材料的风险管理，(2)纳米材料职业和环境暴露评估，(3)纳米技术在食品和农业中的应用，(4)纳米水、空气、土壤处理和补救，(5)纳米材料的去向和运输，(6)纳米材料的生态毒理学和人体毒理学，(7)教育中的纳米技术方法，(8)绿色/可持续纳米材料，(9)纳米传感器，纳米医学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Nanotechnology is increasingly finding uses in agriculture, medicine, energy, consumer products including electronics, environmental technologies, transportation products, and packaging. Nanotechnology deals with materials which are smaller than one-billionth of a meter at least in one dimension, and these materials are not necessarily benign in nature. There has been an effort by researchers and manufacturers to make nanomaterials sustainable with no or minimal impacts on the environment and its components. The 10th SNO Conference November 3rd to 5th of 2021 will highlight sustainability in nanotechnology research. The sessions in this year's conference will address multiple relevant and emerging topics and provide a platform for free exchange of ideas to develop collaborative research and strategize future research directions. The tenth conference will host early career investigators in a session entitled "Rising Stars in Sustainable Nanotechnology." Moreover, the conference will offer a workshop on Infectious Diseases and Nanotechnology with a series of experts in the topic. A poster session will also be held virtually, where it is expected a broad participation of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral scholars and early career investigators.
