Notes:
James F. Evans Collection. Claude W. Gifford Collection., 56 p., Goals of the proceedings were to increase public knowledge about agricultural biotechnology and examine the role of the federal government in regulating the result of such research. Part 7 features "How can biotechnology reach the public?"
"emerging data suggest that, in some circumstances, the media reporting of science is surprisingly accurate and portrays a message created by the scientific community. As such, there are reasons to believe that the hyping of research might be part of a more systemic problem associated with the increasingly commercial nature of the research environment."
