Today's guest is professor R. Alta Charo, JD, world expert in emerging biotechnologies (and most recently, bringing back extinct species like the Dire Wolf). Science is rapidly changing how we produce food and medicine. Alta is Warren P. Knowles Professor Emerita of Law and Bioethics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, former Senior FDA Policy Advisor, a member of the National Academy of Medicine, and has worked with DARPA and Department of Defense. In her free time, she publishes paper after paper. No one has been more at the forefront of the ethical and societal changes more that Professor Charo. She has spent a career working in science policy, and she has is one of the few folks who tends to predict correctly more than not about new foods using science. In this episode, we discuss what led to her career choices, the unexpected findings in those choices, where food technology is going, and why bringing back the extinct Dire Wolf is a very good thing for food production.
