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

纳米技术越来越多地应用于农业、医药、能源、消费产品（包括电子产品）、环境技术、运输产品和包装。纳米技术处理的材料至少在一个维度上小于十亿分之一米，而这些材料在本质上不一定是良性的。研究人员和制造商一直在努力使纳米材料具有可持续性，对环境及其组成部分没有或最小的影响。第十届SNO会议将于2021年11月3日至5日举行，重点关注纳米技术研究的可持续性。今年的会议将讨论多个相关和新兴主题，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的研究方向。第十届会议将在题为“可持续纳米技术的新星”的会议上接待早期职业研究者。此外，会议还将举办传染病和纳米技术研讨会，邀请该领域的一系列专家参加。此外，还将举办一场虚拟海报会议，预计将有本科生、研究生、博士后学者和早期职业研究者广泛参与。纳米技术越来越多地应用于农业、医药、能源、消费产品（包括电子产品）、环境技术、运输产品和包装。纳米技术处理的材料至少在一个维度上小于十亿分之一米，而这些材料在本质上不一定是良性的。研究人员和制造商一直在努力使纳米材料具有可持续性，对环境及其组成部分没有或最小的影响。第十届SNO会议将于2021年11月3日至5日举行，重点关注纳米技术研究的可持续性。今年的会议将讨论多个相关和新兴主题，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的研究方向。会议将分几次举行，包括：(1)纳米和先进材料的风险治理，(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、土壤的处理和修复，(5)纳米材料的命运和运输，(6)纳米材料的生态毒理学和人类毒理学，(7)纳米技术在教育中的应用，(8)绿色/可持续纳米材料，(9)纳米传感器，（10）纳米医学。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
