Genetically Modified Crops
Education Follow-up
European Science Week 2001
Genes on the Menu
As part of European Science and Technology Week in November 2001, the British Association held an event at Explore at-Bristol. The premiere of the documentary film Genes on the Menu was followed by a live video-conference connecting a panel of experts from Brussels, Bristol, Madrid and Munich. Professor Steve Hughes, a member of the Working Party represented the Nuffield Council in this link-up. The other UK panellist was Julie Hill, also from the Working Party, who is now Deputy chair of AEBC.
Sweet As You Are
Sweet as you are
The Nuffield Council was one of the advisers to Y Touring in the production of Sweet As You Are, a play discussing genetically modified crops. Sweet As You Are made its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it was awarded a 'Fringe First' prize. Performances have since taken place in London, at the British Association Science Festival in Sheffield, Cambridge Science Week, and at the Association of Science Educators meeting in January 2000.
