Question:
1. Watch the video "Future of Food: This genetically engineered salmon may hit U.S. markets as early as 2020" by PBS NewsHour. While watching, be sure to take notes about both the benefits and concerns related to the GMO discussed in the video.
2. Create a discussion thread (250 words max) that answers the following questions:
a. Are the concerns about this GMO valid? Provide reasons for your decision.
b. Even with the potential concerns, do you believe that this GMO should continue to be used?
c. Provide reasons for your decision. Your reasons do not have to be directly related to GM salmon, but should incorporate genetic engineering concepts.
- Support your decision with reference to at least 1 peer-reviewed source (see details below). Use APA citations for any ideas or knowledge that is not yours.
- Write your responses on google doc and submit your work as a PDF. Similiarity and AI usage will be checked via Turnitin.
PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE
Scientific studies and papers generally only get published when they have reached a level of quality determined by other researchers in the field. This process is called peer-review, and it functions to maintain quality, credibility and truthfulness in academic publications. For this discussion, you are expected to use at least one source that has been peer-reviewed to back up a statement you make.
Peer reviewed literature can be found using special "scholarly" search engines. They will be tough to find using regular Google. Try out any of the following with a keyword search:
- Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.com/
- Microsoft Academic - https://academic.microsoft.com/home
- PubMed - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
- Academic OneFile (requires a Toronto Library Card) - https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEDB0001&R=EDB0001
- JSTOR (requires a Toronto Library Card) - https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEDB0071&R=EDB0071
- TDSB Advanced Placement Source (requires TDSB login) - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&custid=s1920611&profile=ehost&defaultdb=aqh&groupid=main
Keep in mind that some papers may require a login or purchase to access, but there are many free resources. Most papers are written with a lot of scientific jargon and terminology. Read the abstract of papers you come across and then dive a bit deeper into the experiments and conclusions the researchers make.
