Nanotechnology Center for Learning and Teaching (NCLT) is conceived to train a nano science and technology literate workforce that can solve global problems by implementing a three-pronged strategy: 1. Publish integrated STEM instructional modules with nano-based applications; 2. Offer professional training through workshops, lectures and seminars; 3. Develop a network of multi-sector nano education communities.

Intricate science scares people who don't understand risk and complexity. What is the potential of agricultural and human genetics? The commitment of the GLP is to promote public awareness of genetics and science literacy.
