The Foresight Update features Foresight Institute news, lectures, and conference updates, and spotlights Foresight members, corporate members, media partners, and nanotech events. Until February 19, 2009, the Foresight Institute Update was named the Foresight Institute Weekly News Digest. An earlier quarterly newsletter titled Foresight Update was published from June 15, 1987 through spring of 2007, and is archived here.
