  • Great Podcast!

    There are not enough fantastic scientific resources like this. It is unbiased, accurate and educational. In this world of science misinformation, I applaud Dr. Flora for being a steady voice for objective evidence-based reason.

  • Follow “the science”

    the e-mails show that Folta did receive an unrestricted US$25,000 grant last year from Monsanto, which noted that the money “may be used at your discretion in support of your research and outreach projects”. Folta says that the funds are earmarked for a proposed University of Florida programme on communicating biotechnology.

  • Great biotech podcast with wide array of topics

    This is a fantastic podcast that looks at a broad array of biotech topics ranging from medicine, genetics, agriculture, conservation, and many more. The conversations start at a high enough level to be of value to laymen and non experts but also drill down to specifics that can be deeply informative to those working in biotech. Overall, a really great podcast that anyone interested in or trying to stay up to date with the rapidly evolving biotech landscape should follow

  • Fascinating show

    This is a great podcast with a lot of really fascinating episodes. I have to admit that I’ve been on the fence about GMOs but Kevin Folta has really challenged me to think more clearly about this issue.
