Description

A couple of weeks ago we started a conversation about the gene tech bill that it seems scientists and politicians can't agree on. We spoke to Andrew Allan, a Professor at Auckland University's School of Biological Sciences who is also a principal scientist at Plant and Food Research. After our chat we still had questions, and it turns out, so did many of you, Some of you got in touch wanting to know more about the risks and how valid concerns about the bill are. Jack Heinemann is a Professor at Canterbury University's School of Biological Sciences and joins me now.
