Nate is a freshman Biological Sciences major at the University Notre Dame. He is intrigued by anthropology, especially as it overlaps with the field of Biology. He wanted to find out more about the genetic modification of food and its immediate impact, the impact on the environment, and the economic aspects of this.

This website hopes to sort some of this out for people who want to learn more.
