Dear PSCI-COM, PCST, SASCON list members
I am preparing a proposal for local (South African) funding to set up a
"hands-on" biotechnology lab where secondary school students can get some
experience of biotechnology and its applications (such as extracting DNA),
etc. I would really value the opportunity to "talk" on email to anyone
involved in the running of such labs for the youth/public who may be willing
to give us some advice about the establishment of such a facility (probably
within a university or existing science centre).
