GMOs have been making headlines recently, but what exactly is a genetically modified organism? This lecture will start by covering GMOs in the laboratory – how they’re made and how that compares to traditional methods of genetic alteration like selective breeding. We’ll then talk about GMOs on your dinner table – what foods are currently available as GMOs, what traits they have that make them desirable, and what effect their presence has on us and the world around us. Finally, we will delve into the future of GMOs, looking ahead to the demands of a growing world and considering how GMOs may help stabilize food supply and combat tropical diseases like malaria.
