I would like to welcome
you to this presentation.
My name is Ania Wieczorek,
and I'm Associate Professor
in the Department of Tropical
Plant and Soil Sciences
at University of Hawaii.
In this talk, I'm going to introduce
you to social aspects associated
with using genetic
engineering in agriculture.

Before I start, I
would like to give you
some more information about myself.
I received my Ph.D. from the
University of Western Cape in South
Africa, where I worked on
using molecular biology
tools to answer
ecological questions.
After completing my Ph.D., I
did my postdoctoral research
at Cornell University
in the Department
of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
In 2001, I joined the
University of Hawaii.
And here at UH, I have
two area of focus.
First of all, are
molecular ecologies.
My work concentrates on
conservation of indigenous species
and management of invasive
species through the application
of DNA technology.
Secondly, I have established a
biotechnology outreach program that
provides public education
about genetic engineering
to a wide range of audiences.
About six years ago, I
opened GENE-ius Day program,
which introduced students at
elementary and middle school
to the importance of
genetics in our lives.
1:29
I have been educating the public about
genetic engineering for over 10
years.
I do not advocate for or against it.
My job is to provide unbiased
information about this technology.
