Nodes of Science Genetics and GMO Digest April 28 2016
Few people have the time to keep up with the many science and skepticism communities, so here is a curated digest of Nodes of Science, Skepti-Forum, and friends. From this, you all can have a sampled taste of what these communities cook for their audience. If you appreciate the content below, follow the link to the discussion to share some of your thoughts. You’re also invited to join us on Skepti-Forum for further dialogue or to ask any questions. Also, those interested can find much more information on genetics, GMOs, and related issues on our Nodes of Science Wiki in the Biotechnology sections.
