Advocacy Project Research paper topic: 3D printing.
you will at some point have to make a decision to become an advocate for a particular set of regulations, approaches, and/or innovations to your technology that: 1) resolves the problems and negative effects created by your technology; 2) mitigates the risks/dangers posed by your technology in the future; or, 3) increases access to the positive effects of this technology to more people who otherwise might not benefit from it. In other words, your arguments for how to best optimize your technology while best reducing the downside risks and effects will, after weeks and weeks of diligent engagement, become a richly-textured thesis statement.
