Update: New Techniques, Same GMOs

*Apologies for our previous email, which was incomplete due to a technical problem. Here's the full email.*
Last week, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the developers of CRISPR-Cas9, the genetic engineering tool that promises to "rewrite the code of life". In a webinar organised by the Non-GMO Project and hosted by youth activist Rachel Parent, a panel of experts discussed what that means for the future of our food system — and our planet.
The webinar, "New Techniques, Same GMOs", was not able to be live streamed on Facebook as planned because the Facebook link stopped working just as the broadcast was about to start. But here's the link to the recording.
On the panel were GMWatch's Claire Robinson, molecular geneticist Dr Michael Antoniou, Jim Thomas of ETC Group, Dr Vandana Shiva of Navdanya, Dr Jonathan Latham of the Biosciences Resource Project, and Megan Westgate of the Non-GMO Project.
