We will briefly talk through the materials in your notebook and show you the overview video that you will receive, and explain the tour process and how you are able to contribute to tours, even if you are not a scientist or faculty member. From there, we will take a tour of the Bindley Bioscience Center and the Birck Nanotechnology Center to show you the tour path. If you just want to tour the buildings as a refresher course, please join us in the Bindley Bioscience Center at 9:20 a.m. to meet with Beth Smith. Please reply to dpengage@purdue.edu if you will be able to attend.
