[Moonbase-discuss] Friends of the Moonbase - tomorrow we will genetically engineer!

[rachel@goop.org]

Hey all,

I'm sure you all have this marked in your diaries anyway, but here goes:

---

For the third and final seminar in the first series of Moonbase University, 
we're delighted to welcome a very special guest - Eduardo Blumwald of UC Davis. 
Professor Blumwald has genetically engineered a tomato plant to extract saline 
from salted earth. This is one frankenfood that actually regenerates the soil 
in which it grows... Read more about it at http://www-
dateline.ucdavis.edu/081701/DL_tomato.html 

If you came to the Moonbase seminars on space exploration or artificial 
intelligence, you'll know what a great and lively forum for debate the Moonbase 
is. If not, you're in for a wonderful surprise! It's science in the sofa at the 
Cellspace. The seminar kicks off at around 7pm. $5 donation requested, but the 
munchies are on us. For more information visit http://themoonbase.org

Hope to see you all there!
