This discussion aims to give participants some thought-provoking information on how food is generally regulated in the U.S., in addition to a general overview of the process utilized by the regulatory bodies to approve genetically engineered foods for human consumption.
The video and podcast of this colloquium will be embargoed until after the referenced research is published (date TBD).
REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Come try a selection of GE foods, such as the Pinkglow pineapple, and join us for a panel discussion on what stuff you should know about the next generation of genetically engineered foods.

Multi-omic data has been used to create narratives about who we are as humans—are they correct or do they tell a very one-sided story? Hosted in collaboration with BAA (Being an Ally in Academics).
Travel back in time, from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools, with a pioneering group of scientists who make surprising discoveries that transform human understanding of nature and ecology. Based on a book by Sean B. Carroll of the same name, the film will be introduced by Dr. Fred Gould, Co-Director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center.
Is there a future role for benefit-cost analysis in biotechnology governance?
What are the different kinds of science writing for the public, and how on earth do you do them? Science writer Bethany Brookshire will pull back the curtain.
