The Public Communication of Science & Technology (PCOST) Project is the brainchild of David Berube. He was recruited to NCSU in January 2008 to develop a project to improve public communication on science and technology, specifically emerging technologies, including nanotechnology, bionanotechnology, neurotechnology, and synthetic biology. PCOST is recruiting members and will petition to become a center in the near future. PCOST will move to the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus in the next few years.
