'GMOs: A Hot Topic in the Media and Classroom: Monsanto Discussion and Presentation' |
|
|---|---|
|
We will discuss what a GMO is and isn’t, how these innovations are tested, the limitations and benefits of the technology, and where biotechnology is used outside of agriculture today. Hear how Monsanto is partnering with others in the agriculture industry to help farmers continue to grow more food for a growing population while remaining sustainable and environmentally conscious. Whether you host GMO debates in the classroom, cover biotechnology in your curriculum, or have questions—we want to make our STEM experts available to you. We will also be giving away free Biotech Seed Kits in the session. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |

| Biosketch: | 'I don’t know all the answers- that’s why I keep asking questions.' Tangible learner. Dangerously curious. Valerie Bayes holds a degree in Biological Sciences from University of Missouri-Columbia and a Master's Degree from Lindenwood University in Teaching with certification in secondary biology. She serves as Monsanto’s STEM Engagement Lead in St. Louis, Missouri. Growing up Valerie often found her curiosity getting her into trouble. From building treehouses out of recycled materials to jumping off the roof with an umbrella – asking “why” and “how” she has always been the curious type asking about phenomena and testing hypothesis. She is a strong advocate for the scientific method. Her work focuses on creating authentic agricultural experiences demonstrating the sophistication and integral nature of STEM through agriculture. |
