RealClearScience Editor and Science 2.0 fave Dr. Alex Berezow does a Science Cafe on genetic modification.  

Using humor and great examples, he punctures the anti-science hysteria surrounding GMOs in this video presentation, including the history and its benefits and concerns.    His endorsement of Wikipedia as a science source is suspect but otherwise we are right there with him.
