District 9 fans are asking about biotech

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

With the huuuuge success that is the movie District 9, we’re getting a lot of folks sending us some basic questions about biotechnology – especially after Dr. Wach’s great post-movie review. So we thought we’d offer you a few places to find out more about what biotech is, and what it’s doing in the real world, here and now. Many people are already buzzing about biofuels for example, but there’s so much more going on in the world of biotech. This technology is being used to advance treatments for serious diseases, increase farm yields for a growing global population and has even become a cornerstone of modern criminal forensics. One of our sister sites has a lot more information on biotechnology for those of you who would like to find out more.

And please keep sending us your questions and reviews to see them up here or find us in the twittersphere via @D9Fx.
