Description

Dr. Patrick Moore was a founding member of Greenpeace. In the years past its inception he worked tirelessly on ecological issues. Over time, he saw the group’s positions as less than scientific, leading to his defection.  Soon after he became a leading advocate for the deployment of Golden Rice, the pro-Vitamin A rice that was invented to alleviate blindness and illness caused by a missing micronutrient in the Developing World.  We discuss his roots, his efforts for Golden Rice, and conclude with his new book which addresses his controversial stance on climate change.Follow Dr. Moore on Twitter:  @EcoSenseNow Golden Rice Project:  www.goldenrice.org The link to his new book# COLABRATalking Biotech is brought to you by Colabra – an R&D platform that brings your lab’s world-changing research together in one shared space.
