Redefining Genetically Modified Organisms in New Zealand - Michelle Walsh
Michelle Walsh, a Science Communication student at the University of Otago, investigates a recent squabble between two 'biosecurity guardians' of New Zealand, regarding the use of new techniques in genetic modification. This panel-style audio documentary draws on perspectives from scientific research communities and those more directly involved with science-related policy. Michelle talks with Elspeth Macrae, General Manager of Manufacturing and Bioproducts at Scion, Simon Terry, Executive Director of the Sustainability Council of New Zealand and the University of Otago's Peter Dearden, Director of Genetics Otago. A note about the production of this podcast: the interviewees were recorded separately, and did not have the right of reply to other people's remarks.
