Description
OrB's Food for Thought Lecture Series brings internationally recognized experts to OSU to talk about the best ways to use biotechnology to produce food and fuel. Environmental and biotechnological issues are often complex and difficult for people to come together around; this series brings the public inside the scientific community to promote dialog and find common ground. http://oregonstate.edu/orb
