Myles is a scientist and YouTube vlogger whose videos focus on having fun with science as well as debunking popular myths and conspiracy theories. Now that he has finally fended off a band of litigious HIV conspiracy theorists and gotten a decent internet connection he came on the show to discuss why GMOs aren’t evil, why Prometheus sucked and how no-one ever gets DNA right on screen.

News:

Bacterial reporters that get the scoop

Nonsense:

FDA considers approval of genetically modified babies

​GMOs could cause ‘irreversible termination of life’ on Earth

The ridiculous and unethical anti-GMO papers we discussed:

The Séralini Affair
