  But safety research is lagging, and public understanding has stalled, making the field ripe for a consumer backlash if problems emerge."The public, in general, has no idea what is happening," said David Berube, a communications professor at N.C. State University who is working with a $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation on how to communicate nanotech risks."There is a window of opportunity right now," Berube said.
  ...
  As part of the National Science Foundation grant, Berube will hold a conference in August to discuss strategies for communicating the risks of nanotech.Surveys conducted on behalf of the nanotechnology project show that 42 percent of Americans say they have heard nothing about nanotechnology; 29 percent say they have "heard just a little."That makes sense to Berube, who said most people say, "It's tiny," when asked what they know about nanotechnology.

  As David Berube, communications director of the International Council on Nanotechnology, commented to Chemistry World: ,If Samsung hadn't been so insistent on calling it nanosilver, this publicity would never have happened.'

  You have to control the hyperbole and the exaggeration or it could fuel a backlash or a boycott, David Berube, associate director for nanoscience and technology studies at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, told UPI's Nano World.
  
  Berube will talk about nano-hype at a Foresight Institute conference on advanced nanotechnology Sunday in Arlington, Va.
  ...
  Some businesses that had nothing to do with nanotechnology did quite well when (President) Bush signed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, Berube said.
  
  The act, signed Dec. 3, 2003, authorizes $3.4 billion in federal nanotech spending over fiscal years 2004 through 2008.
  
  What ended up happening was companies that had nano as a prefix, their stock values went up, he said.

  "The first products the public has heard about have been luxury items," said David Berube, a professor of communications at the University of South Carolina who studies public perception of nanotechnology.The next highly visible wave will include antibacterial cleaning agents, followed by pharmaceuticals and medical devices, he said.

  David Berube, Ph.D., a professor at North Carolina State University and author of Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz, was blunt in his assessment of EPA and FDA.The message from both, he told EBN, is: "We have no money and we have no people to do this stuff",that is, to take an active role in regulating nanotechnology.About EPA, Berube said, "They don't have the power to force the industry to do the research.

  David Berube, an NCSU professor who teaches courses in risk communication and rhetoric in science and technology will study public reaction to health risks associated with nanotechnology, the science of the ultra-tiny sub-microscopic world.
  
  Berube said, "When the public tries to understand technical information on health and safety, they do not turn to scientific data."
