Panel description: Nanotechnology is an emerging technology for cancer therapeutics but it’s not going to be the magic bullet, and reporting about it should be balanced and not exploitive of its potential risks or benefits. This panel of experts representing the research, clinical, social and ethical perspectives will help reporters learn how to approach and think about the subject so coverage is responsible and provides appropriate context.
