Mark Lynas on the complexity of disagreeing on GMOs
Mark Lynas is a British environmentalist and writer famous for having changed his views about GMOs very publicly in a 2013 speech. Lynas recently published a book,Seeds of Science (which Ireviewed for Massive) about how and why he changed his mind. After reading the book, I talked to Lynasabout his journey, his views on the differences between activism and science, the limits of genetic modification, and about how scientists can respond to ant-GM activists. Here’s our conversation, condensed and edited for clarity.
