Research in the Biotechnology Impacts Center focuses on discussing new and emerging developments in biotechnology. As such, we will present current news articles, reviews, publications, policies and legislation related to events of the biotechnology revolution and invite feedback from all interested on their social, economic, political, environmental, and ethical consequences.
Listed below are two news articles related to Crop Pests and additional books of interest on a variety of topics. You will be invited to enter our forum (pending) and either comment on the listings below or introduce any topic you think would be of interest and stimulate discussion.
