Nick Kaplinsky, Chair of Biology at Swarthmore College, and I discuss Nina Fedoroff's book Mendel in the Kitchen, on the genetic modification of food, going back the earliest domestication of crops such as wheat and corn, to foods currently labeled as “GMOs.” Kaplinsky surprises me with the statement that opposition to GMOs on the left ressembles climate change denial on the right. What is at the heart of this claim? To better understand genetically-modified foods, you have to delve into the science, which, Kaplinsky points out, very few of us have the education to properly understand, and you have to look at the complex picture of agriculture today and what is at stake both in the U.S. and in countries such as India and Bangladesh, where a genetically-modified form of rice known as “golden rice” could alleviate the devastating effects of vitamin A deficiency for those who subsist primarily on rice.

Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1990 for her work in the field of Plant Biology, Nina Fedoroff is a pioneer in the molecular aspects of plant transposable elements. Building upon the work of Barbara McClintock, she elucidated the sequence of some of these elements, demonstrated their utility for gene cloning and was instrumental in converting the study of plant transposable elements into one accessible by molecular techniques.

Where did Zika come from, and what can we do about it? Molecular biologist Nina Fedoroff takes us around the world to understand Zika's origins and how it spread, proposing a controversial way to stop the virus -- and other deadly diseases -- by preventing infected mosquitoes from multiplying. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

D'où vient le virus Zika, et que pouvons-nous faire pour y remédier ? La biologiste moléculaire Nina Fedoroff nous fait faire le tour du monde pour comprendre les origines de Zika et les raisons de sa propagation, proposant un moyen controversé d'endiguer le virus - et d'autres maladies mortelles - en empêchant les moustiques infectés de se reproduire.

Wo kommt Zika her, und was können wir dagegen tun? Molekularbiologin Nina Fedoroff nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise um die Welt, um zu verstehen, wo Zika herkommt und wie es sich ausgebreitet hat. Sie stellt eine kontroverse Methode vor, mit der das Virus -- und andere tödliche Krankheiten -- aufgehalten werden können: Indem verhindert wird, dass sich infizierte Moskitos vermehren.

De onde surgiu a Zika e o que podemos fazer contra ela? A bióloga molecular Nina Fedoroff nos faz viajar pelo mundo para entendermos as origens da Zika e como ela se espalhou, propondo um método controverso para deter a propagação do vírus, bem como de outras doenças mortais, evitando que mosquitos infectados se multipliquem.

¿De dónde vino el virus del Zika y qué podemos hacer al respecto? La bióloga molecular Nina Fedoroff nos lleva por el mundo para hacernos entender los orígenes del Zika y cómo se propagó, y propone una manera controvertida de detener el virus y otras enfermedades mortales para evitar que los mosquitos infectados se multipliquen.

On The Gist, a case for playing politics in Myanmar. Then, a clever strategy for preventing a full Zika virus epidemic—genetically modified mosquitos. We’ll speak with Nina Fedoroff about her recent op-ed in the New York Times. For the Spiel, Mike imagines what life would look like if he were held to the same standards as Hillary Clinton.
