There are still some free spots, if you are coming to the Conference on Friday, for some of the Lab Tours (all at 3-4pm):

You can visit the Duke University Smart Home:

Check out the $2 million Smart Home, a living lab and dormitory for ten Duke students to live relatively sustainable and super high tech lifestyles, flushing toilets with rainwater and wearing RFID tags so each room knows who they are and what they'd like to listen to. (PS - the house has 4 Gig fiber optic cable in every room, making it the fastest dorm on the planet!)

Or you can see the primates at the Duke Lemur Center and meet your prosimian relatives.

The tours to Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences are already full. We may add another one soon, so check the wiki later.
