RE-MAKING OURSELVES
Advances in biotechnology offer exciting prospects but Finn Bowring, a lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University, explains why he believes we are in danger of adapting our views of what life is and means to technology that is rapidly exceeding our grasp.

Mark Harvey, Senior Research Fellow at Manchester University’s Centre for Research on Innovation and Competition and Dr Don Slater, reader in Sociology at the London School of Economics discuss why the life and times of the tomato have so much to tell us about social, economic and biological aspects of human history.
