A novel proposed strategy combines the traditional planting of non-insecticidal refuge with releasing GM insects that are Bt-susceptible and have a repressible, female-specific lethal gene.
America Project, by Paul Vanouse, is a live, interactive biological art installation whereby the DNA from visitors' donated spit will be extracted, combined and processed to create electrophoresis gel art.

The symposium will bring together artists, humanists, and social/natural scientists, using the exhibition as a departure point for conversations about the future of biotechnology and genetics.
North Carolina is one of the most physio-geographically diverse states in the southern U.S, resulting in the majority of the state’s crop production the eastern Coastal Plains. We analyze the dynamics of cropland use intensity here, and are developing tools to improve the precision of environmental assessments of crop production in NC.
Dengue is estimated to infect 390 million individuals a year worldwide, with around 3.9 billion people at risk of infection. Currently, there are no licensed vaccinations or therapeutic treatments for the disease and control of the vector species through conventional methods has proven inefficient and costly. One possible novel vector control technique to prevent outbreaks relies on infection with the bacterium, Wolbachia.
