Join the University of Waterloo for an enlightening conversation between two Nobel Laureates as they discuss the important role scientists can play in debunking misinformation. 

Are genetically modified foods dangerous? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism and has been the subject of much debate and misinformation. Nobel Laureate Sir Richard Roberts sits down with Nobel Laureate Donna Strickland to debunk the myths surrounding GMOs and explain why we should not only trust but embrace them. Sir Roberts is a molecular biologist who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1993 for discoveries of split genes.
