Society

Science

Stories like his always make me think of how much we are screwing with Mother Nature and how much she fights back: But farmers sprayed so much Roundup that weeds quickly evolved to survive it. “What we’re talking about here is Darwinian evolution in fast-forward,” Mike Owen, a weed scientist at Iowa State University, said.
