+==Visit by author 'Tomorrow's table', Prof. Pamela Ronald, Friday June 26, 11:30am, John Innes Center==
+Prof. Pamela Ronald, Professor of Plant Pathology and Chair of the Plant Genomics Program at the University of California,
+Davis, is in Europe next month and will be promoting her book ‘Tomorrow’s table’ – theme: ‘The future of food may depend
+on an unlikely marriage: organic farmers and genetic engineering.’  One of the reviews:
+"This book is a tale of two marriages. The first is that of Raoul and Pam, the authors, and is a tale of the passions of an organic farmer and a plant genetic scientist. The second is the potential marriage of two technologies-organic agriculture and genetic engineering. ... Like all good marriages, both include shared values, lively tensions, and reinvigorating complementarities. [The authors] share a strong sense of both the wonder of the natural world and how, if treated with respect and carefully managed, it can remain a source of inspiration and provision of our daily needs."- As from http://pamelaronald.blogspot.com
