  I have! I think that this initiative does a GREAT job reaching out to young students and non-scientists to engage them in nanotechnology. I participated in a ‘Nanotechnology Day’ at a science museum in St. Louis that used materials provided by the National Nano Initiative. I hope the initiative gains in scope and is able to engage the public in the U.S. on a more widespread basis.
