SUMMARY:GES Colloquium - Eli Hornstein: Genetically engineering a multi-organism relationship
DESCRIPTION:Title: Genetically engineering a multi-organism relationshipPresenter: Eli Hornstein\, Provost Doctoral Fellow\, Systems and SyntheticBiology\, Dept. of Plant and Microbial BiologyAbstract: Biotechnology has great potential as a tool to address pressing issues beyond the agricultural applications in wide use today. In the context of environmental conservation\, I will discuss how biotechnology could provide solutions to problems that have been intractable to traditional approaches for decades. I will focus the majority of my talk on my research in progress to genetically engineer crop plants to form new symbiotic relationships with soil fungi\, called mycorrhizae. Ability to form or alter mycorrhizae in agriculture can greatly increase the uptake of soil N\, P\, K\, and water. This in turn haspotential to reduce fertilizer application\, and ease consumption of land and water. I will discuss the inherent challenges of manipulating a complexrelationship that varies across interactions between multiple organisms and their environment\, as well as the potential challenges of proposing to deregulate such an engineered product.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Sarah Evanega - Hunger & Hypocrisy: A Climate for (GMO) Change
DESCRIPTION:Stephens Room – 3503 Thomas Hall\, NC State\, Raleigh\, NCMap: https://goo.gl/maps/SJRxVPGxqbP2Sarah Davidson Evanega\, PhDDirector\, Cornell Alliance for Science – https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/Sr. Associate Director\, International Programs CALS\, Cornell University Hunger & Hypocrisy: A Climate for GMO ChangeThe world currently facesthe great challenge of feeding a growing population while simultaneously minimizing agriculture’s negative impact on global climate change. In this talk I will share examples of how the tools of agricultural biotechnology are being employed to help address this and associated urgent challenges.  Wewill explore how access to biotechnologies addresses injustices to the poor and other social problems in countries like Bangladesh.  We will also discuss how applications of biotechnology may help lessen agriculture’s carbonemissions and other deleterious environmental impacts. Finally\, we will explore how denying GMO science challenges a liberal worldview and obfuscates shared values around achieving justice for the poor\, and address the critical need to defend evidence-based science in a time of unprecedented urgency.Register at – https://ges.research.ncsu.edu/events/

SUMMARY:GES Colloquium - Sarah Evanega - Empowering Champions\, Embracing Advocacy: The Cornell Alliance for Science
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Davidson Evanega\, PhDDirector\, Cornell Alliance for Science – https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/Sr. Associate Director\, International Programs CALS\, Cornell University Solutions to hunger\, poverty\, and sustainable agricultural growth are often inaccessible to Less Developed Countries (LDCs)\, where they are needed the most. The Cornell Alliance for Science is a global communications initiative committed to ensuring access to scientific innovation as a means of addressing these pressing issues.By connecting a global grassroots network of “Science Allies”— researchers\, farmers\, policy makers\, communicators\, and other stakeholders all committed to our shared mission — the Alliance applies innovative communications approaches to positively shift the conversation around agricultural biotechnology.The Alliance for Science trains passionate advocates who work to ensure that the people in their countries have access to agricultural biotechnology innovations. Trainees are equipped with skills necessary to lead campaigns in support of biotechnology that target specificobstacles in their home countries and social contexts.  They become part of a growing global network of collaborative Science Allies who are activelyworking toward achieving justice for the poor.In this session\, Alliance for Science Director Sarah Evanega will introduce the organization’s mission\, activities\, and highlights of the training programs with hopes of exploring opportunities for collaboration.
