Whether that transformation will be peaceful and beneficial or horrendously destructive is unknown. Although nanotechnology carries great promise, unwise or malicious use could seriously threaten the survival of the human race. The vision of CRN is a world in which molecular manufacturing is widely used for productive and beneficial purposes, and where dangerous uses are limited. … The mission of CRN is to: 1) raise awareness of the benefits, the dangers, and the possibilities for responsible use of advanced nanotechnology; 2) expedite a thorough examination of the environmental, humanitarian, economic, military, political, social, medical, and ethical implications of molecular manufacturing; and 3) assist in the creation and implementation of wise, comprehensive, and balanced plans for responsible worldwide use of this transformative technology.” CRN is an affiliate of World Care, an international, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.

Intelligence Squared U.S. (IQ2US) [i.e., Disinfo Squared]
-590 Madison Avenue, 30th Floor; New York, NY 10022  (212) 303-4322 | 212-303-4475 Fax | Email: info@intelligencesquaredus.org | Website: http://intelligencesquaredus.org/

http://intelligencesquaredus.org/index.php/about-us>
THE PROGRAM – Rethink your point of view with Intelligence Squared U.S. (IQ2US), Oxford-style debates live from New York City. Based on the highly successful debate program in London, Intelligence Squared, Intelligence Squared U.S. has presented 50 debates on a wide range of provocative and timely topics. From clean energy and the financial crisis, to the Middle East and the death of mainstream media, Intelligence Squared U.S. brings together the world’s leading authorities on the day’s most important issues. ..Since its inception in 2006, the goals have been to provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis; to transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological; and to encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. ..The Rosenkranz Foundation initiated the Intelligence Squared U.S. Debate Series and continues to provide major support.
THE APPROACH – The series is based on the traditional Oxford-style debate format, with one side proposing and the other side opposing a sharply-framed motion. Before the debate begins, the audience registers their pre-debate opinion using an electronic voting system. These results are announced later in the program. Alternating between panels, each debater gives a 7-minute opening statement. After this segment concludes, the moderator opens the floor for questions from the audience and inter-panel challenges. This adversarial context is electric, adding drama and excitement. The debaters have one final opportunity to sway audience opinion through their 2-minute closing arguments. The audience delivers the final verdict by voting again whether they are for, against, or undecided on the proposition. The two sets of results are compared and the winner is determined by which team has swayed more audience members between the two votes.
LIVE DEBATES – The debates are held at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, New York University, located at 566 LaGuardia Place (at Washington Square South). Evenings begin at 5:45 PM with a cash bar reception for panelists and audience members; the live debate starts at 6:45 PM and ends at 8:30 PM. For venue information, click here.
TELEVISION BROADCAST – Intelligence Squared Debates can be watched on WNET’s Thirteen, NJTV and WLIW. Debates are broadcast within two weeks of the live recording starting Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. with repeated shows airing regularly. Click here for your local listings.
RADIO PROGRAM – Intelligence Squared debates can be heard on over 220+ NPR (National Public Radio) stations across the nation.
