The Museum of Science and Northeastern University present a Forum on Alternative Energy and Nanotechnology.
Climate change concerns, rising energy costs, and dwindling natural resources are causing people everywhere to think harder about the relationship between human activity and our environment. The emerging and exciting field of nanotechnology presents great promise to address these issues, but carries a great deal of uncertainty…and perhaps its own environmental risks.
In this forum, you and other participants will become the decision makers, as you weigh the possible environmental benefits of nanotechnology against its potential pitfalls. Should the bulk of research funding be dedicated to the implementation of existing technologies and to conservation, or should more efforts be dedicated to designing new nanotechnologies that might be of greater long-term impact?
Thursday, April 3
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Dodge Hall at Northeastern University
Refreshments will be served from 6:30 until 7:00; the forum will begin promptly at 7:00.

"The Greening of Southie" goes behind the scenes and onto the scaffolds to follow the construction of Boston’s first green residential structure, a luxury condominium complex called the Macallen Building. Located in the city’s storied working-class neighborhood, South Boston, Macallen was conceived with the ambitious goal of securing a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Moving between the idealistic young development team, distant suppliers, and the salty union construction crew, The Greening of Southie maps each step––and misstep––on the road to move-in day. Featuring the music of Force Theory (Manda Bala, Jesus Camp, Favela Rising), and the filmmaking of the creators of King Corn. The film’s subjects, director and rising Boston filmmaker Ian Cheney will be in attendance.
