Shed Science: What’s all the fuss about GM wheat?
The Rothamsted GM wheat trial is facing opposition, so what exactly is GM, what are the scientists doing to the wheat, and should we be concerned? This Shed Science looks at both the scientific and ethical arguments put forward by the Take The Flour Back protesters and whether the evidence supports them or not (SPOILER: It doesn’t).
The Rothamsted website is excellent, especially the questions and answers section:
http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/Content.php?Section=AphidWheatIf like me you support GM and want to help the scientists, you can sign the petition at Sense about Science: http://www.senseaboutscience.org/petition.php and spread the word using the hashtag #dontdestroyresearch
If you haven’t already, try extracting strawberry DNA using only washing up liquid, salt and alcohol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHlH2hBXPDA
