  • Dr. Nina V. Fedoroff
    TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE SCIENCE SUBCOMMITTEE ON RESEARCH AND SCIENCE EDUCATION HEARING ON SCIENCE DIPLOMACY Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2318. Wednesday, April 2nd, 10 AM Dr. Nina Fedoroff Science and Technology Adviser to the Secretary of State and the Administrator of USAID MAKING SCIENCE DIPLOMACY MORE EFFECTIVE Chairman Baird, Ranking Member Ehlers, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee, thank you for this opportunity to discuss science diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. is recognized globally for its leadership in science and technology. Our scientific strength is both a tool of “soft power” – part of our strategic diplomatic arsenal – and a basis for creating partnerships with countries as they move beyond basic economic and social development. Science diplomacy is a central element of the Secretary’s transformational diplomacy initiative, because science and technology are essential to achieving stability and strengthening failed and fragile states. S&T advances have immediate and enormous influence on national and global economies, and thus on the international relations between societies. Nation states, nongovernmental organizations, and multinational corporations are largely shaped by their expertise in and access to intellectual and physical capital in science, technology, and engineering. Even as S&T advances of our modern era provide opportunities for economic prosperity, some also challenge the relative position of countries in the world order, and influence our social institutions and principles. America must remain at the forefront of this new world by maintaining its technological edge, and leading the way internationally through science diplomacy and engagement. Testimony of Dr. Nina Fedoroff Page 2 The Public Diplomacy Role of Science Science by its nature facilitates diplomacy because it strengthens political relationships, embodies powerful ideals, and creates opportunities for all.

Fedoroff was selected by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be the new Science and Technology Adviser in August 2007. In September 2007, USAID Administrator Henrietta Fore invited Dr. Fedoroff to serve her in the same capacity. Dr. Fedoroff is the Willaman Professor of Life Sciences and Evan Pugh Professor in the Biology Department and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Fedoroff is a 2006 National Medal of Science laureate. Dr. Fedoroff is a leading geneticist and molecular biologist who has contributed to the development of modern techniques used to study and modify plants. She received her Ph.D. in molecular biology from the Rockefeller University in 1972. In 1978, she became a staff member at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and a faculty member in the Biology Department at Johns Hopkins University. In 1995, Dr. Fedoroff joined the faculty of the Pennsylvania State University, where she served as the founding director of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. Dr. Fedoroff has done fundamental research in the molecular biology of plant genes and transposons, as well on the mechanisms plants use to adapt to stressful environments. Her book, Mendel in the Kitchen: A Scientist’s View of Genetically Modified Foods, published in 2004 by the Joseph Henry Press of the National Academy of Science, examines the scientific and societal issues surrounding the introduction of genetically modified crops.

  • Dr. Nina Fedoroff
    WRITTEN STATEMENT OF DR. NINA FEDOROFF BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE RE: THE COSTS AND IMPACTS OF MANDATORY BIOTECHNOLOGY LABELING LAWS MARCH 24, 2014 Chairman Conway, Representative Peterson, Members of the Committee, thank you very much for the opportunity to testify before you today. My name in Nina Fedoroff and I am a professor of plant molecular biology and genetics. My laboratory pioneered in the adaptation of genetic modification of GM techniques to plants more than 35 years ago. I am a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and a National Medal of Science Laureate. I served as the Science and Technology Adviser to Secretaries of State Condoleeza Rice and Hillary Clinton. I authored a book titled Mendel in the Kitchen: A Scientist’s View of Genetically Modified Foods1. I am here to tell you why mandatory labeling of foods containing GM ingredients is counterproductive to Americans’ ability to make healthful food choices. More than that, I will tell you why such labels could well undermine humanity’s efforts to achieve food security. A recent poll of scientists and the public on GMOs gave startling results: only 37% of the public believes GMOs are safe, compared with almost 90% of scientists2. So what’s the evidence? GM crops have been in commercial production for almost 20 years3. They have an impeccable safety record and multiple environmental benefits4. Despite anecdotal reports, often never published or subsequently retracted, no allergies, illnesses or deaths have been reproducibly linked to the consumption of GM food or feed5,6,7. Environmental impacts for the period 1996-2012 include the application of 503,000 tons less pesticide (active ingredient), greenhouse gas reductions of 16 million tons CO2 and increased soil carbon sequestration from no till farming estimated 4 at more than 200 million tons CO2 .

  • The Myth of Junk DNA
    The Myth of Junk DNA JoATN h A N W ells s eattle Discovery Institute Press 2011 Description According to a number of leading proponents of Darwin’s theory, “junk DNA”—the non-protein coding portion of DNA—provides decisive evidence for Darwinian evolution and against intelligent design, since an intelligent designer would presumably not have filled our genome with so much garbage. But in this provocative book, biologist Jonathan Wells exposes the claim that most of the genome is little more than junk as an anti-scientific myth that ignores the evidence, impedes research, and is based more on theological speculation than good science. Copyright Notice Copyright © 2011 by Jonathan Wells. All Rights Reserved. Publisher’s Note This book is part of a series published by the Center for Science & Culture at Discovery Institute in Seattle. Previous books include The Deniable Darwin by David Berlinski, In the Beginning and Other Essays on Intelligent Design by Granville Sewell, God and Evolution: Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin’s Challenge to Faith, edited by Jay Richards, and Darwin’s Conservatives: The Misguided Questby John G.

  • Session at AAAS Annual Meeting
    SESSION on DESIGN THINKING TO MOBILIZE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION FOR SOCIAL CHALLENGES The aim of this symposium is to highlight the innova- tive approaches towards address social challenges. There has been growing interest in promoting “social innovation” to imbed innovation in the wider economy by fostering opportunities for new actors, such as non-profit foundations, to steer research and collaborate with firms and entrepreneurs and to tackle social challenges. User and consumers are also relevant as they play an important role in demanding innovation for social goals but also as actors and suppliers of solutions. Although the innovation process is now much more open and receptive to social influences, progress on social innovation will call for the greater involvement of stakeholders who can mobilize science, technol- ogy and innovation to address social challenges. Thus, the session requires to be approached from holistic and multidisciplinary mind and needs to cover the issue from different aspects by seven inter- national speakers.
