Change is coming to the GNTIS
The Gene and NanoTechnology Information Service is about to change its name to techNyou.
New name, bigger agenda
The Gene and NanoTechnology Information Service is about to change its name to techNyou. It is easier to say, at least.
For some time now we have wanted to broaden our agenda to include all emerging technologies, and now we have done it and so we needed a name change. So, over the next few weeks there will be a transition from the GNTIS to techNyou.
Same service
We will still have piles of fact sheets, media clippings, research reports and peer-reviewed papers that we can send you on relevant topics. We will still be involved in public engagement activities and you can still contact us for information. You just have a wider range of topics you can ask us about – for example, where is all this communication technology taking us, or how far off are quantum computers and how powerful are they? What influence will their presence have on society, our privacy and the way we interact?
Apology
Just before Christmas we released a postcard through Avantcard about nanotechnology. Many people have been returning those cards requesting information. I have a confession to make: yesterday after collecting the cards from the postbox they slipped from my hand. It was a windy day and I was chasing the cards for 100s of metres up the road dodging traffic and mad taxi drivers to retrieve them. I think there may have been a couple lost forever. So, if you sent in a postcard and don’t receive anything within 10 days, then feel free to call or email us and I will ensure I get some info to you.
