Sorry I'm late jumping in on the GMO/academic freedom thread. I only have
one comment to add about Doug Powell, the colleague at Guelph who wasn't
very complimentary of Ann's work. He puts out several helpful email news
roundups (Agnet, Animalnet, FS(food safety)net as part of the program he
runs at Guelph. With each summary, he includes this description of how his
work is funded:
Agnet is produced by researchers at the Agri-Food Risk Management and
Communications Project at the University of Guelph, is edited by Douglas
Powell (dpowell@uoguelph.ca) and Sarah Grant (segrant@uoguelph.ca) and is
sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
Plants Program at the University of Guelph, with additional support provided
by the U.S. National Pork Producers Council, the U.S. National Food
Processors Association, Novartis Seeds, Dairy Farmers of Canada, AGCare
(Agricultural Groups Concerned About Resources and the Environment),
Monsanto Canada, Pioneer Hi-Bred Limited (Canada), the U.S. National
Cattlemen's Beef Association, Ontario Agri-Food Technologies, Novartis Crop
Protection Canada, Dairy Farmers of Ontario, Halton Regional Health
Department, the Rutgers University Food Safety Extension Program, the Crop
