Nanobiotech writing contest for young scientists |
(Nanowerk News) Communicating scientific topics to the public is an important task for researchers. Although non-experts are eager to learn about new technical, medical, and biological developments, their curiosity is only seldom satisfied due to the very few available publications. Therefore, the Nano2Life network launched a scientific writing contest to increase the dissemination of knowledge and to make the public more aware of important nanobiotechnological issues.
