For the past few years, their principal aim has been to help<br \/>\nthe general public to understand biotechnology. By making scientific<br \/>\nresearch accessible to laypeople through participatory performance<br \/>\nexperiences, CAE aims to demystify what is safe and clarify what is<br \/>\ndangerous about today&#8217;s biotech industry.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the rest of the information about stuff and why the CAE deserves your support, go see <a href=\"http:\/\/caedefensefund.org\/demonstration.html\" target=\"_top\">http:\/\/caedefensefund.org\/demonstration.html<\/a>.
