Genetically engineered organisms (often called "GMOs") have become remarkably controversial in recent years. Do they offer any benefits? How risky are they to consumers and the environment? Students will study scientific findings that address these questions. Students will also become more skilled at evaluating scientific evidence and its sources, using GE crops and medical advances as our focus.
