The Salon program is taking its usual summer break; the Salon Committee is resting and everyone else (we hope) is enjoying the season. The program resumes on September 8th with Dr.Ray Seidler, Microbiologist and Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Biosafety research expert, who will describe what a genetically engineered organism is, how it is constructed in the laboratory, and report to us on some of the issues that make commercial aspects of the DNA technology controversial to many people. For more information please check Future Salons.
