What are GMOs and should you be concerned about them? In this presentation, Dr. Annkatrin Rose will explain the science behind genetic modification and address some common misleading claims and misconceptions about their uses, as well as some recent developments in genome editing technology and its applications. The presentation will be supplemented with posters prepared by students from the Capstone course on Genetic Engineering at Appalachian State University.
