at every board meeting he would say, what is the impact of what gmf does? sometimes it's hard to measure impact. other times it's very obvious. and it's wonderful to see -- >> go around. the fellowship. >> i was actually saying to one of your colleagues that if you pull up your cv you have a line fellow of the german marshall fund. so, it is something you are very proud of. you've been a wonderful supporter of gmf ever sense. i since. thank you for that. also your words to the transatlantic partnership are not only true in the words you just spoke, but also in the fact that you're here in washington, because, of course you've traveled extensively since stepping into this job, but it has been within europe and the immediate region. so, this is the first longer trip that you've made. and i think it also shows your commitment and the commitment of the eu to the transatlantic partnership which certainly we at gmf agree is so important. as you said, the increasingly complex world that we live in. and when i think about transatlantic partnership, you referenced t

door less than a year ago, and it's a pleasure to meet again, friends, not only at brookings but also gmf. i have to say to make my experience as fellow in 2007 was one of the best and most important experiences of my life, and i would say it shows that fellowship works. to some extent, at least. but coming here i realized that the first time i traveled to america, i was 28, and that was just after 9/11. all europeans felt a very strong sense of solidarity at that time. we were all americans in our hearts and with our minds and i remember very well that during my visit that was a private trip, i was very much impressed by the sense of pride and unity of the american people in those days after the attacks. u.s. flags were everywhere, and rightly so. 14 years eventually even china would give workers with aging couldn't nents. interconnection has its dark side to think about terrorist network. think of the threat of global epidemics epidemics. technology for this is for good and for bad. nowhere is this clearer than in the communications where social media provides us an expensive vehicle fo

i called the chapter what the gmf, gina motif of genetically modified food, so our story begins with let's say george washington the bread wheat. he would shake the pollen from one we stock onto the eggs of another and he did. he was an agriculturalist with resources. and so that makes perfect sense because it seems like it could happen in nature, we they have this problem in the us with the european corn grower. thank you. so these people found a way to take the genes from a virus this bacterium that lives in the soil below: plants and put it in the corn and then it crystallizes and the corn dies. and so it seemed like a great thing. >> is that good or bad? i have been eating it for years. i'm fine. and so then as you may no the genetic modifiers were able to make corn and soybeans that are resistant to this extraordinary pesticide. round up is the big brand. it kills freaking everything but not the corn and soybean plant that have been modified. and so it was also killing milkweed. if if you are a monarch butterfly milkweed pollen is the best. so why accidentally killing the milkwe

and it's a pleasure to meet again, friends of brookings but also of gmf.s one of the best and most important experiences of my life. and i would say that shows that fellowship works, to some extent, at least. but coming here, i realize that the first time i traveled to america, i was 28. and that was just after 9/11. and all europeans felt a very strong sense of solidarity at that time. we were all americans in our hearts and with our minds. and i remember very well that during my visit, that was a private trip, i was very much impressed by the sense of pride and unity of the american people in those days after the attacks. and u.s. flags were everywhere, and rightly so. 14 years later i've seen and sensed the same sense of pride and unity in the streets of paris, where thousands -- millions actually, of citizens, french, european citizens, showed the strongest possible reaction to a terrorist attack that many europeans, many french perceived as our own 9/11. obviously, we have had other attacks on european union soil. in madrid in london and now in paris.
