Debate with Kate Kate Pitches

I am joined with upcoming PhD student Josh Gilligan, who is currently researching genetic tools for wasp management at the University of Otago. 🐝🧬

Site mentioned:
Gene Editing in Aotearoa https://www.royalsociety.org.nz/major-issues-and-projects/gene-editing-in-aotearoa/ - a number of papers addressing GMO applications for various issues, if you are curious about the topic I found these super interesting 😊

Welcome to the first episode of Debate with Kate! We explore the concept of consciousness in bacteria, asking if they really are aware of their surroundings.
