GMOs: The Good, The Really Good, and The Ugly.

May 13, 2016 By Miranda

WHEN: Wednesday, June 8, 2016, Doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm

WHERE: Kiggins Theatre, 1011 Main Street, Vancouver, WA

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are all over the news these days, and it’s hard to separate the fact from the fiction. Some people would have you believe that they are dangerous for humans, while others insist that they’re perfectly safe and are the best way to cure world hunger. How do you know what’s true? At this Science on Tap, Steven Sylvester, PhD, toxicologist and associate professor in the school of molecular biosciences at WSU Vancouver, will give a historical perspective of the controversies surrounding GMOs, the regulations, and the hype. He’ll discuss how science already plays a role in where our food comes from, and will arm you with data so that you can make the most informed decisions when choosing food for you and your family.
