6. Did you get any amusing questions from students (or teachers)?
My past teacher science teacher from high school said he would of never thought i would
became a science nerd. Then started asking why i chose nanotech, how did i first hear about it.
Can't say amusing, but have to be prepared for these questions, such as how much money you
will make, where is nanotech going after 50 years?, isn't nanotech 'playing God'? what is your
view on evolution?. As an ambassador these questions have to be dealt with carefully, have to
show passion, drive, determination and ability to see what the future of nanotech can be, also be
informed about the issues related to 'Intelligent design', and 'Darwin's theory of evolution'. I was
lucky because i watched the American documentary about that issue related to the teaching of
intelligent design.
