About Genetically

COLUMBUS, Ohio Infor
mation about a complicated sci
ence just got easier to access.
A committee of Ohio State
University scientists recently
formed to address questions re
garding genetically modified or
ganisms (GMOs). The
committee, initiated by the Col
lege of Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences, in
cludes biologists, plant breeders,
agronomists, agricultural econo
mists, animal scientists and
others.
“Questions about GMOs can’t
be answered from the perspec
tive of only one discipline not
if you want a complete answer,”
said Steve Baertsche, Ohio State
University Extension assistant
director, agriculture and natural
resources. “One goal of the com
mittee is to merge a fairly com
prehensive group of people from
different academic departments
and disciplines, and have them
discuss the major opportunities
and challenges of GMO applica-

area allows site visitors to pose
questions to the committee. The
site also includes a FAQ (Fre

links to other GMO web sites
and articles about the technol
ogy-
“I see this not as an advocacy
group, but as a group of scien

genetic engineering,” said lan
Sheldon, agricultural economist

“The web site gives quick access

The GMO web site is linked to

that includes thousands of fact
sheets on everything from lawn
care to parenting to farming.
