G.T. Humanists Meeting: The Science of GMOs and Glyphosate

For our July meeting, Dr. Eric Patterson will give a talk on GMOs in agriculture and the glyphosate (Roundup) controversy. The title of talk is "What's all the fuss about herbicides, GMOs, and organic agriculture?"

Dr. Patterson will scientifically explain the basis of chemical W**d control, the basics of genetically modified food, and the associated risks to human health. He'll address many of the common questions and misconceptions in regards to these sensitive topics.

Dr. Patterson is an assistant professor of W**d science at Michigan State University. His research focuses on the genomics of weedy plant species as well as herbicides and how resistance evolves on rapid timescales in weedy species.
