On today's podcast Jeffrey is joined by Dr. Belinda Martineau, geneticist, scientific writer and editor at UC Davis. She is also author of the book, "First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Foods". Dr Martineau was one of the developers of that tomato and has also been so clear, unbiased, professional and scientific in her estimates of what might go wrong with GMOs. Among other things, Jeffrey and Dr. Martineau discuss a recent article she published in Biotech Salon on the poster children of biotech engineering.
