We’ve been accused this week of promoting the views of anti agricultural biotech activists and organizations for a story we ran Friday: “Scientist’s Letter Raises Roundup Concern.”
How do we plead? Not guilty, not on
Purdue University scientists are questioning recent statements by groups opposed to the use of genetically modified (GM) crops, specifically that glyphosate use and Roundup Ready technology are impacting the health of plants, animals and possibly
Scientists at Purdue University have developed a nanoparticle capable of keeping food safe from Listeria contamination for significantly longer than has previously been possible.
The nanoparticle works by slowly releasing nisin, an antimicrobial agent that kills Listeria, into
