The NERO Laboratory
Dr. Mills' NERO Laboratory supports a K-16+ outreach program that provides solid educational content and a strong technical foundation in the molecular sciences and bionanotechnology. Current activities of the lab include engaging K-12 teachers and students through summer and academic year research experiences and technology workshops, guiding teachers in translating their increased understanding of the research process into classroom learning experiences, improving understanding of the scientific research process and engineering design to teachers, students and the community, and increasing interest of K-16+ students in pursuing careers in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (SMET) fields.
