GMOhhh's? - Putting a misunderstood science under the microscope

This week, John and Paul are joined by Dr. Devang Mehta, plant systems and synthetic biologist, writer, and Fellow at the University of Alberta, to learn about and discuss GMO's. This oft-misunderstood science has come under a lot of (unwarranted) criticism in recent years, while researchers like Dr. Mehta struggle to improve the lives of many with their research. Join them as they discuss the struggles of a social climate that rejects GMO's, explore the history, safety, challenges, and learn about the benefits and necessities they'll provide in our future. Special thanks to our guest, Dr. Mehta for his time on this episode. Be sure to check out his work at devang.bio and follow him on twitter for more of his amazing work.
