Genetically Engineered Pests for Health, Biodiversity, and Crop Protection

Explore a thought-provoking 53-minute plenary presentation from the Entomological Society of America's ICE 2016 conference featuring Dr. Fred Gould, a distinguished professor from North Carolina State University. Delve into the question "Will genetically engineered pests protect health, biodiversity, and crop production?" as Dr. Gould shares his expertise in ecology, evolutionary biology, and genetic engineering. Learn about his significant contributions to the development of insecticidal transgenic crops and his current focus on engineering insect pests to combat disease, reduce crop loss, and protect endangered species. Gain insights from a National Academy of Sciences member and recipient of numerous prestigious awards as he discusses the potential impacts and implications of genetic technologies in agriculture and pest management.
