A workshop on training communicators in crop biotechnology for scientists and researchers, and another similar workshop for biosafety regulators were held at Rama Gardens Hotel, Bangkok last September 24-25, 2014. The two events were organized by Biotechnology and Biosafety Information Center (BBIC) in Thailand. Drs. Supat Attathom of BBIC and Darunee Edwards of FoSTAT gave an overview of crop biotechnology and food safety issues of biotech products, respectively. Dr. Mariechel Navarro of ISAAA introduced the concepts and techniques of science communication.
