As host of the National Public Radio show Tech Nation, Gunn was a self-admitted biotechnology neophyte when she began hosting her new show, BioTech Nation. In this work, she details what she has learned in the intervening period by describing advances in biotechnology and their possible applications and examining political and ethical controversies that have characterized the youthful field from the beginnings. Clearly aimed a general readership, her introduction to biotechnology combines journalistic anecdotes of her own investigations into the topic with excerpts from BioTech Nation interviews.
