The Biotech Explosion: Amazing Innovations in Agriculture & Medicine

March 1, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

$20

Dr. Folta will be joining Ag-West Bio in Saskatoon to talk about the amazing innovations that have become possible thanks to biotech tools, like genetic engineering, gene editing and genomics.

We have the technology – but consumers need to understand their value and safety. How can we use communications tools and social media to ensure that we can actually use those technologies?
