ANSONIA - Rebecca Silady will speak at 7 p.m. Saturday as part of the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center's Natural History Lecture Series.
Silady is currently teaching botany at Southern Connecticut State University. She will speak about genetic improvements in agriculture –
from traditional breeding to the green revolution to today’s genetically
modified food.
After completing her PhD. at Stanford University and postdoctoral
studies at the Max Planck Institute, Silady worked on developing drought
tolerant corn at Monsanto.
Silady is in a position to offer a
balanced view of this controversial topic. Call 203-736-1053 to register for

The center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
