On this episode of STEMcast, Dr. Julia Freeman walks us through her experience working with farmers in India to understand the impact that modern biotechnology is having on both a personal and industrial level. She explains that biotech has more complicated questions associated with it than what most sensationalist coverage about it (both pro- and anti-biotech) makes apparent.
