caitri | Post Cafe-Scientifique Write Up

Tonight's topic was genetic modification, which an illogically large part of the audience seemed freaked out about. I spoke up once in reference to the bee die-off last year, as that wasn't GMO-related but just a plain ol' virus, and how actually bees resistant to the virus are being bred with other bees to keep the populations happy. At the rehash afterwards with friends, one of them wanted to know why I didn't speak up and argue more so there's a more even discussion going on. (I think now: Well why didn't you talk at all, buddy?) Oh well. Fun though.
