Anti GMO Greatest Hits of 2013
There is an open facebook group called GMOLOL that I frequent daily.

Interview with Green State TV
Last spring I was asked to do an interview for Green State TV (see below) via Skype and it was recently posted. Rick E, the interviewer, was curious about my switch from anti-GMO to pro-science. The piece is highly edited and of course, I wish I would have said more but here it is! […]
