Addressing stereotypes and bias in nanotechnology requires a multifaceted approach. Increasing awareness and education about the realistic potentials and limitations of nanotechnology can help manage public expectations. Encouraging diversity and inclusion in research teams and decision-making bodies can also mitigate biases.
Funding agencies and journals should implement transparent and equitable practices to ensure fair evaluation of research proposals and publications. Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration can help integrate diverse perspectives and drive innovation.
