The Mendelian eugenics movement in NC provides a useful case study into the lasting impact of over-generalized genetic theory on governments, medical professionals, and activists.
Ecological and evolutionary perspectives have greatly influenced the development of genetic engineering as exemplified by significant events from history.
Genetics and Genomics Scholars, AgBioFews, and Global One Health Fellows from all cohorts are invited to participate in monthly professional development workshops. The topic for the February 16th workshop will be Mentoring Skills for Graduate Students
A discussion of synthetic biology and Torres Strait Islanders, bringing their perspectives into conversation to explore cultural implications for future island-bound applications of genetic biocontrol technologies, such as gene drives.
This talk will explore how insights from Indigenous agricultural practices, both past and present, can inform global efforts to conserve diverse crop varieties and bridge the gap between local practices and broader sustainability goals.
Dr. Fred Gould, GES Minor Co-Director, and Dr. Dawn Rodriguez-Ward, GES Program Coordinator, on Friday, March 1, 2024, at 5:00 PM. The Zoom session began with a brief presentation of the GES Minor program and then moved on to a discussion with attendees.
ZOOM ONLY. This talk, based on ethnographic research with scientists and technicians working with transgenic mosquitoes in Brazil, examines the class, gender, and regional issues present in the efforts to transform the mosquito from a “problem” into a “solution.”
