I was once a molecular biologist, a lab-mate of Bart's even (Hi Bart!). I'm not a big fan of the Green Party's GE policy, but that didn't prevent me (eventually) joining them.

Several pages ago James Butler said

That's what I hear, but I'm yet to work out how without leaving my keyboard. Coming from an IT background what I want is a web FAQ or wiki page saying "How to moderate any policy with which you have an issue, using perl".

Substitute "python" for "perl" and that could be me. I said it so often that I ended up on the Green's policy committee (Hi JLM).

So, I'd like my fellow biologists to know that there is a diversity of opinion within the Greens on GE, as there is on most issues, and if any greens want to discuss it (Hi Mikaere) at the AGM or whenever then I'm happy to stand in for Bart in making the case that GE is not inherently dangerous.
