The National Academy of Sciences conducted a two-day workshop on how to communicate about genetically modified organisms (GMO) to the public. The workshop was held on January 15-16, 2015 in Washington, DC. The workshop was attended by life science researchers and featured speakers who are experts on science communication. The speakers, including Dietram Scheufele of University of Wisconsin-Madison, presented strategies on how scientists can improve engagement based on the findings of social scientists. Break-out sessions were also held to discuss different issues on GMOs such as GM corn and its effects on Monarch butterflies, American chestnut, and GM mosquitoes.
