    Shi Chen – ‘Fake News: GMOs and Zika’

    October 9, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    10/9 Colloquium: Shi Chen | Abstract: Social media have become an integral part of public health communication. More and more individuals first resort to social media for information during health crisis and disease outbreaks. While the low cost and easy access of social media make it more convenient for health communicators to disseminate useful information to the general public, they also have the side effect of enabling wide and fast spread of fake health news.

    Allan Hruska – Fall Armyworm: Towards Sustainable Management by Smallholders in Africa

    October 16, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    10/16 Colloquium: Allan Hruska | Abstract: Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (FAW) is an important crop pest in the Americas, especially in tropical and sub-tropical areas where it can overwinter. FAW was confirmed in Africa in early 2016 and has quickly spread across Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Recently it has been confirmed in India and Yemen. It is now infesting tens of millions of acres of maize across Africa, and rapidly moving on to sorghum and millets.

    Kelly Nelson – Biofuels Policy and Innovation Spillovers: Evidence from Patent Indicators

    October 30, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    Kelly Nelson’s research focuses on the determinants of innovation in the biotechnology and energy sectors. He has studied the impact of biofuels policies on patenting in the biofuels and plant biotechnology fields. Another project focuses on the impact of nuclear power accidents on nuclear energy research and development. He is also investigating the impact of grain market concentration on the variety of research done by agricultural biotechnology firms.

    Darby Orcutt – Scholarly Identity for an Interdisciplinary and Engaged Career

    November 13, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    GES Colloquium, 11/13/18 - Darby Orcutt | Managing one’s scholarly identity has never been perfectly straightforward and easy to do, but it can be especially challenging for researchers and scholars who cross disciplinary boundaries and whose research outputs may include work outside the traditional peer-reviewed article. Indeed, we are preaching to the choir when speaking to those active in the Genetic Engineering & Society Center about the vital importance of engaging with diverse academic, professional, and public audiences and producing research outputs that can have tremendous impact on policy and public perception.

    Katie Barnhill-Dilling & Dalton George – Responsible Research & Innovation in Action: Tales from the Front Lines

    November 20, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    1911 Building, Room 129 (North Campus) 10 Current Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    11/20 Colloquium - Dr. Katie Barnhill-Dilling and Dalton George | Responsible research and innovation (RRI) is an increasingly applied normative framework for the governance of emerging technologies. However, meaningful implementation of RRI principles can be challenging, particularly with respect to upstream stakeholder and community engagement. The Safe Genes NCSU project, "Restoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity through Development of Safe and Effective Gene Drive Technologies," has been designed with RRI in mind.
