I did a research paper on genetically-modified (BT) corn in high school -- looking at benefits and risks. Ever since, I've held a passing interest in the controversy over the issue, or rather the issue behind the controversy. NPR's link to this article has finally pinpointed why the controversy bothers me so much: too many things are lumped together and discussed as one thing. Why not take each genetically-modified crop as its own entity, and look carefully at the costs and benefits of each in a specific situation?
Besides reading internet articles, these days I'm applying for jobs for next year, planning for this next semester, and writing letters of recommendations for my previous students. The only advantage of being on "break" is additional opportunities to exercise. Whoever said that professors only worked during the school day (and school year) hadn't met very many.
