I liked doing the experiment best in the nanotechnology lab. It was fun to work with the equipment. I can see nanotechnology affecting me in my daily life in the future--I think it will become a big thing in the for the medical community and an excellent tool.
1. i appreicated the hands-on learning approach; even a short procedure in the lab made more thorough my understanding of the significance of nanotechnology.
2. definitely, i think that nanotechnology will become an important aspect of medicine in the near future.
I liked seeing the liquid nitrogen being poured into the electron microscope and how the microscope operated. It was neat to use the pipettes to make the sand. I can definitely see nanotechnology being used inside the body to destroy pathogens and prevent the arteries from clogging. Hopefully they won't put doctors out of their jobs!
It was awesome to get some firsthand experience of what they do in their lab. Using the various pipettes and chemicals was cool. I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere they researchers created via their quote wall.
I initially had no real sense of what nanotechnology hoped to achieve until our speaker described the potential bone growth applications that could eventually take the place of various bone replacements. I hope that they find an effective way to integrate their research into medicine soon.
My favorite part of the nanotechnology lab was the hands-on experience. I thought it was very cool that they let us make the silica ourselves. We didn't do very much, but it was nice change. The equipment in the labs was very advanced, and I really liked the scanning electron microscope. I think nanotechnology could definitely affect me in the future, especially after what Dr. Wright said about using nanotechnology to promote bone regrowth.
Working in the nanotechnology lab was an interesting experience. It was fairly simple to make bio-sand which is composed of silicon. The technology that is used in the chemistry lab is unlike anything I have seen before. The protein synthesizer was extremely expensive and quite impressive.I can see nanotechnology being used more frequently in the near future. The science department has made many strides toward incorporating nanotechnology into modern medicine.
I really was excited about what Dr. Wright (name?) had to say to us. He was obviously really passionate about his research and explained it really well. The equipment, especially the Scanning Electron Microscope, was pretty intense. I had no idea that this technology was so easy to use but still yielded amazing results. Nanotechnology will definitely serve a large role in the medicine--maybe sooner than we think.
When we first walked into the room to listen to the talk about nanotechnology I kind of settled into my seat thinking it was going to be a long talk about something way over my head and unrelatable. But Dr. Wright (?) really connected the meaning and uses for nanotechnology into our daily lives. His passion for the subject was contagious and he really captured our attention. I loved getting to go into the lab after he talked to us and really get to put into action some of what we had learned to make sand. Then we used the electron microscope to look at the sand and the pictures looked like something from a textbook but it was us that had created it. As medicine advances, I am sure that nanotechnology with have a larger impact upon all of our lives.
1. What was your favorite part of working in the nanotechnology lab? What was it like to work on the equipment they use in the labs?
Actually, I felt kind of neutral in the lab because the experiment where we made sand wasn't incredible challenging and the equipment we used wasn't new to me due to the fact that I was in AP Bio the year before. However, I did enjoy seeing all the super high-tech equipment that only a lab like that would have (too bad we didn't get to use them).
2. Can you see nanotechnology affecting you in your daily life now or in the future?
I can't see nanotechnology affecting me in my daily life, but when it develops more it would definately affect my health, should i ever be injured in the future.
I really liked getting to see the scanning electron microscope. Since I have never seen one before, I thought it was really neat that we got to use such expensive equipment. As for nanotechnology, I believe it is already affecting our lives. Many commercial products already have nanoparticles in them. But their uses in medicine will definitely grow.
I thought the nanotechnology was surprisingly interesting. I really enjoyed seeing how an experiment with silicon like the one we conducted could be used and done as they utilize it every day. Working with the equipment made the involvement better for learning and made the idea of something like nanotechnology, which appears very difficult, very real and more simplistic. I can definately see how nanotechnology will play a large role in future medical and biological feats and progress that will then be integrated into typical practice.
I found the nanotechnology speaker's lecture very interesting and eye-opening regarding the many possibilities for its use in the future and its relevance to the structure of all living things. It was very interesting to walk through the labs, view the high-tech equipment used in research, and to learn about the potentially life-changing studies being conducted by the students and professors.
I was really surprised at how interesting nanotechnology was, and seeing the lab was really cool. It was exciting that we were able to perform our own- very small- procedure in the lab and it gave us a glance into what all the researchers do on a daily basis. My favorite part though was seeing the pictures that were taken by the microscope, that was really awesome.
I think that nanotechnology will become an important part of medicine in the future and that with it, great advances in medicine can be achieved.
Definitely my favorite part of day was nanotechnology. I loved how we helped create sand and actually got to see our finished product up close through the coolest looking microscope I've ever seen (scanning electron microscope).
I was also fascinated to see that this technology would be rampant in the near future. Pretty soon, our DNA would be fixed through little machines and our genes would be put back together properly. SO definitely, this technology would be extremely important.
