September 19 @ 4:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Genome BC is pleased to present Pamela Ronald as the 2018 Don Rix Distinguished Keynote speaker. Please join us on Wednesday, September 19th for her keynote: “Serving up Science: Plant Genomics and the Future of Food.”
In her lecture, plant geneticist Pamela Ronald will explain how genomic approaches are being used to produce the next generation of crops. Genetic engineering of crops, the marker-assisted breeding approaches of today and the genome editing of tomorrow are examples of a continuum of new technologies aimed at helping farmers produce food in a productive and ecologically-based manner.
An engaging Q&A session with the audience will follow the talk. This event is free of charge but seating is limited and will reach capacity. Early registration is recommended. Genome BC is proud to organize science forums at no cost but we depend on your attendance. Please be sure you can attend before registering or contact us at info@genomebc.ca or 604. 675.1021 should you need to cancel.
