Obviously the headline I’ve chosen is hyperbolic but genetically modified organisms worry me. And, if reading science fiction for my whole life has taught me anything, it’s that thousands of acres of genetically modified eucalyptus trees being planted across the southern United States is potentially disastrous.
Of course, the trees are being planted for profit by corporations, so nothing could really go wrong, right? And if something does go wrong, the corporations will make everything better, right? Now who’s basing their opinion on fiction?
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
