genetically modified

 American agrochemical firm Monsanto was the world’s largest maker of genetically engineered seeds until merged with German pharma-biotech giant Bayer in 2018. Its Roundup Ready® seeds, introduced twenty-five years ago, are still reshaping farms, landscapes and ecosystems all over the world. 

Bart Elmore is a professor of environmental history at Ohio State University, as well as an award-winning author. Alasdair spoke to him about his 2021 book on the history of Monsanto, Seed Money: Monsanto's Past and Our Food Future.

Once fences and armed guards protected genetically modified (GM) crops. But the rules are rapidly changing. From Vitamin D-boosted tomatoes to low GI potato chips, what say should citizens have?

The Minneapolis teacher’s strike, the study on lead exposure, the first conviction in connection to the Capitol riots, and the FDA green lights genetically modified beef. Let’s be informed so we can get on with our day.

For the first time, medical professionals at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have performed the first successful pig heart transplant into an adult human. The patient, 57-year old David Bennett, was diagnosed with terminal heart disease and was ineligible for a conventional heart transplant. So instead the U.S. FDA approved for Bennett to receive the emergency genetically modified pig heart surgery. In this week's episode: Let's Talk Wild EP 3 - Who Wants A Pig Heart? The First Successful Pig Heart Transplant Into An Adult Human,  I give you guys my thoughts on this procedure.

Tim Dowling speaks with Dr Chris Cockel  from Kew Botanical Gardens about the problems facing the Cavendish banana crop and a Professor from the Queensland University of Technology about his work to genetically modify the banana, all trying to answer the questions, how we lost the Gros Michel banana? Will we lose the Cavendish banana? and how could we save the banana industry?

In this episode, join Drs. Devyn, Nyote, and Alicia as they break down exactly how humans got into the GMO game, how the government tried to pump the breaks on this new wave, and what plant is the G.O.A.T of the GMO world (it’s so corny you would never guess it!).  Hear us chat it up about fruit ovaries, Chipotle being a teacher’s pet, and how to spot that PLU code for organic bananas a mile away!  So whether you are chowing down some strawberries in the winter or adding some sugar into that lemonade, keep giving SFTC and these GMOs some love and check out the newest episode!

A major threat of climate change is to future food security. With a projected Australian population of 35.9 million in 2050, and rising average temperatures of up to 4°C, how will agricultural science work to feed the future? Should we lean on gene technology or traditional methods? Professor Rachel Burton (Head of the Plant Science Department & Chief Investigator ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology at Waite Campus, University of Adelaide) and Dr Angela Pattison (Research Scientist at the University of Sydney Plant Breeding Institute) join our host Dr Deborah Devis (Geneticist & Science Journalist  at The Royal Institution of Australia) to discuss.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “I wish I had a different hair color or eye color.” What about more muscle, less body fat? What about more brain power, better eyesight, more empathy?

Contained within our genetic code is the raw untapped potential of the human condition. Within that same code is the negative potential of that condition where cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s are switch away. 

CRSIPR cas9 is the technology that gives us the change to eradicate these diseases while also making some very fundamental changes to human beings. 

 Are we ready to play God? What are the long-term consequences of this technology and the genetic editing that comes from it? Who is responsible for policing this technology and who should decide what edits can be made?

 The ethical conversation is one we cannot cover in a short podcast, but this week Janna and Evan discuss just a few of the ethical and global implications of genetic editing and what they would change about themselves if given the chance.

BioPOD is back with an episode on Smartphone Biosensors and the importance of Synthetic Biology in today's global landscape.  This episode focuses on a fluorescent bacterial biosensor that quantifies levels of toxic arsenic in the environment and  connects to a smartphone. Stay tuned for this episode where we interview Dr Baojun Wang and Dr Xinyi Wan from the Synthetic Biological Engineering Lab at the University of Edinburgh. This lab specializes in engineering bacteria to act as biosensors which are applied to monitor toxic metal concentrations in the environment. 

Chickens that are genetically modified to produce human proteins in their eggs can offer a cost-effective method of producing certain types of drugs, research suggests. Researchers say the findings provide sound evidence for using chickens as a cheap method of producing high quality drugs for use in research studies and, potentially one day, in patients.
