Extension Biotechnology Policy and Outreach Specialist Tom Zinnen will present "Changing Colors in the Spectrum of Biotechnology & Food" at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, in 151 Cowley Hall.
From Bovine Growth Hormone to "Golden" rice, clashing claims and dueling data — along with a remarkable use of language and images — have fueled decades of controversy over speeding the technology and seizing the moral high ground.
Extension Biotechnology Policy and Outreach Specialist Tom Zinnen will present "Changing Colors in the Spectrum of Biotechnology & Food" at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, in 151 Cowley Hall. Light refreshments will be available before the free presentation.
The 30-year history of biotechnology and food provides both insights and puzzlements into how people in Wisconsin, the U.S. and around the world use science in making personal choices, in forming public policies, and in making decisions in the face of uncertainty.
The use of transgenic crops in papaya and the possible use of transgenics to manage the citrus greening disease of oranges provide useful case studies of how the issues may play out.
The discussion is a presentation in UW-L's Institute of Biomolecular Sciences 2013-14 Seminar Series.
