As different groups work out whether and how to pursue gene drive organisms, Sam Weiss Evans explores the ways STS researchers can enrich the attention to diverse perspectives, equity, vulnerability, and learning.
Katie Mack and Matt Shipman | In this workshop, we will work on our media skills and consider how best to mentor our students to succeed in this aspect of science communication.
The Goal is to have fully secure and accessible Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture where there is the potential for a multi-lateral flow of germplasm and knowledge among the participants, basically, all human beings on Earth.
Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) can produce substantial amounts of aviation fuel and soil carbon benefits when grown as a winter crop in the southeastern US.
We are excited to share our progress with you about the collaboration between the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) and the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, USA) titled “Assessment of the Regulatory and Institutional Framework for Agricultural Gene-editing via CRISPR-based Technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean.” | Estamos muy contentos de compartir con ustedes los avances de nuestro proyecto titulado: “Análisis del Marco Regulatorio e Institucional para la edición génica basada en tecnologías CRISPR para la Agricultura en América Latina y el Caribe” que viene siendo desarrollado en conjunto con el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y el Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Sociedad (Raleigh, EE.UU) de la Universidad Estatal de Carolina del Norte.
