<title>Natural Selections: When evolution GOES WRONG!</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20687/20121018/natural-selections-when-evolution-goes-wrong</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 18, 2012) Not all evolutionary change is good. Genetic changes can be neutral or harmful, as well as beneficial. And some change can be both, conferring benefit when a single copy of a gene is present, and causing a life-threatening disease when copies are inherited from both parents. Martha Foley and Dr. Curt Stager roll the dice on evolution.

<title>Natural Selections: &quot;Alternative&quot; animals</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16541/20101021/natural-selections-quot-alternative-quot-animals</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 21, 2010) In general, plants make food from sunlight, and animals fuel themselves by &quot;burning&quot; oxygen. But some animals think outside the box. Curt stager and Martha Foley look at a photosynthetic slug that hijacks the genetic machinery of the algae in its diet, and at a jellyfish that needs no oxygen, burning the alternative fuels of hydrogen and sulphur.

<title>&quot;Biosafety Engineers&quot; for GMO Industry?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/3735/20031208/quot-biosafety-engineers-quot-for-gmo-industry</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 8, 2003) Genetic engineering, especially when it comes to food, is a battleground. On one side: people who fear a world of contaminated food, harming humans and the environment. The other side fears we&apos;ll miss an opportunity to prevent hunger and disease. Now there&apos;s a ground breaking initiative that might produce compromise. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Mary Stucky reports that some researchers think safety can be built into the bio tech industry.
