[Southern_AZ_MWS] YOU are invited to the May Science Cafe on Drinking Water Sustainability at ASU!

[Arin Haverland]

Dear Stewards,



Many of you may be interested in attending the ASU May Science Café!!! This
is a great opportunity to interact and engage in the topic of Drinking Water
Sustainability! See the details below - and of course if you get to go let
us know what you thoughts are and what you learned as we are always looking
for Stewards to share experiences in their communities with us. Have a great
day!



Sincerely,

Arin C. Haverland* *

The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University
invites you to our *May Science Café!*

* *

*The topic will be Sustainable Drinking Water: *To Drink or Not
to Drink: What Should We Do to Have Good-Tasting, Safe and Sustainable
Water into the Future?



*The presenters for this topic will be:

*

*Dr. Dave White
*Associate Professor
School of Community Resources and Development
Arizona State University

*Troy Benn
*PhD Candidate, Civil & Environmental Engineering
Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering
Arizona State University
*
*This cafe will explore the complex challenges to obtaining good tasting,
safe AND sustainable water: Can all three goals be obtained? Are they
equally important? Do different stakeholders have different priorities? For
example, perhaps "safe water" is equally important to politicians and
academic researchers, but how does each constituency view "sustainability?"
How do we reconcile differences? Moreover, are there technologies related to
good-tasting, safe and sustainable water that could pose ethical or social
dilemmas? Are there other unintended consequences that are difficult to
foresee?

Friday, May 15, 2009
5:30 - 6:30 p.m.

Science Cafes are informal discussions that bring together members of  the
community and university scientists, to discuss how science and  technology
can change the future. In a typical cafe, scientists speak for 15-20 minutes
on a topic, with the rest of the time for the public to ask questions and
present concerns. Teachers receive 1 hour of professional development for
each café attended.

 The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University
(CNS-ASU) facilitates the public's involvement in nanoscale research and
development, to build new capabilities for understanding and governing the
power of nanotechnology to transform society. CNS-ASU is affiliated with the
Consortium for Science, Policy, & Outcomes (CSPO), in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences. CNS-ASU research, education and outreach activities are
supported by the National Science Foundation under cooperative agreement
#0531194. *For more information, please contact: Regina Sanborn*
