Abstract

This work consisted of a survey conducted by undergraduate Biotechnology students from the National University of Quilmes, which investigated the level of biotechnology knowledge held by the social science students at the same university. The authors consider that this group can represent a very small sample of what a broad social sector in the country knows about the topic.
