Presented by Anastasia Bodnar PhD.
In a recent Pew poll, 88% of AAAS scientists said that genetically engineered crops were safe to eat. In contrast, only 37% of non-scientists surveyed said genetically engineered crops were safe to eat. While there are values-based issues involved, such as the role of capitalism and patents in our food supply, a large part of this gap can be explained by lack of information. In this talk, Anastasia Bodnar describes some of the technologies behind the genetically engineered foods on your plate and discuss some of the controversies that surround them.
