Last fall I wrote a post titled Science Will Win, around the time a collaborative journalistic investigation revealed a group lead by a former Monsanto PR executive were compiling a database of people connected to or involved with work that was critical of pesticides, GMOs or advocates for various forms of organic agriculture.
There’s an update on that one: the company has shut down.
Those seeking more knowledge in good faith on behalf of the public, unfortunately face many roadblocks, including pressure or smear campaigns, but the growing amount of awareness of issues related to adverse chemical effects and environmental degradation will make these pressure and smear campaigns harder.
Kudos to the team of journalists for doing brave work, and to those who fight for better answers, and for our collective health.
