In this episode, we talk with Luke Busta, a plant chemist and postdoctoral scholar at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, about what phytochemicals are and how they have been used in society over the years in both food and medicine. We also discuss Luke's experience with science communication on his blog and on Twitter as well as the ethics of food biotech/GMOs and biotechnology more generally. *We sincerely apologize for the audio quality on this one. Our bad.*
