Would you like gene tech with that vids on YouTube

The last of the videos of our National Science Week forum, “Would you like some gene tech with that?” are finally up on our YouTube channel

The first four uploaded a few weeks ago are of the expert panel’s presentations. These last three are of the audience discussion surrounding the three questions we posed:

• How acceptable is the use of GM technology to generate rice enriched with nutrients such as iron and Vitamin A?
• How acceptable is the use of GM technology to generate drought-tolerant wheat?
• How acceptable is the use of GM technology to generate barley that needs less nitrogen fertiliser?

The audience got to vote on this before and after the discussion.  The first question is below.  The rest can be accessed from the YouTube link on the TechNyou home page or at www.youtube.com/technyouvids
