Anyone who works with me knows that I am something of a food technology geek. My focus lies in the human and environmental impact of things like nanotechnology and synthetic biology. It’s serious stuff and it often reminds me of my days in pharmaceutical — reviewing adverse effect reports. That’s why I have to share these videos that were entries in, Nanotation’s “What is ‘Nano’?” video contest. This one ranks high on my list of endearing geekiness while still remaining informative.

If you prefer the serious stuff, check out the Nanotechnology, GMO, and Synthetic Biology session, at this year’s Organic Summit, June 3-5, 2009 in Stevenson, WA.
