Is the use of biotechnology in the plants we use for food, clothing, and energy a bug or a feature of our contemporary food system? What 'evil' forces are behind the pro- and anti-GMO movements? Let's talk science, culture, and economics in this inclusive and interactive session.

Lately, I've been discovering design-thinking and group facilitation methods for innovation, as well as a bit of software and web development on the side. I am also an amateur singer, pianist, guitarist, and songwriter.
How does this all fit together? Hell if I know. Let's have some fun and figure it out.
