A brief summary Senator Helen Factors public October q consulting group 12 on his facebook page the following status that requires volunteers (free of course) that are involved in the drafting q consulting group of a research on GM maize Mon 810 to prevent the import in Italy (emphasis mine):
Elena Factors Senator M5S Saturday at 23:39 appeal to scientists who follow this page! OBJECT GM maize MON 810 We are bringing having a battle to prevent the invasion of this GM maize. To invoke the safeguard clause should q consulting group be a scientific dossier on the subject that is missing today. q consulting group The information and studies are vague and unfortunately the policy you weave and mingle with scientific data. I would need help to produce a file that is totally ASEPTIC and SCIENTIFIC divided more or less like this: 1) construction of the transgene, accurate q consulting group characterization (if any mapping) and stability over time, the effect of alteration in the expression of endogenous genes 2) characterization of the toxin expressed independent of its insertion into the corn, works prior to the generation of corn, including structure, target specificity, biochemical interaction with any other targets etc etc. 3) expression q consulting group of the toxin in maize, levels of transcription, translation, stability q consulting group and structure of the protein also in time 4) history of the transgenic corn and its predecessors 5) toxic effects on insects other than the borer and therefore environmental impact q consulting group from this point of view, as well as study of the possibility of effects that rise up in the chain alientare 6) any effects not only toxic but also altered patterns of markers indiammatori, or imunologici / oromnali animals that feed with transgenic maize 7) impact on the environment and agriculture in the countries where it was introduced. I would like to accomplish a task force in decent time to collect all the data in the literature and make a report on these points. Who wants to join me write to: [email protected], maybe telling specialization and on which of these points for working so we organize groups.
Fairly quickly the status is commented on by people puzzled: to begin with, the existing scientific documents certifying total harmlessness of this hybrid (which otherwise would not sell), but above all, really the senator is saying it needs a search for "aseptic and scientific "confirming his preconceived thesis? The tone of the commentators is initially polite: q consulting group a part that is a Senator of the Republic and publicly insult may not be a good idea at all, however, is not the feeling of hostility: maybe - they think - it is wrong and not really what I wanted q consulting group to say she said. The first responses of the senator, however, are bleak: the first commentator for like number q consulting group of replies that his is a serious call and jammers can go elsewhere (troll kitipaka). To others, not better fate reserves, appealing to the principle of authority ("I do scientist for twenty years." To the uninitiated, is the most unscientific you could say, to say it was also a Nobel Prize winner who discovered cancer care: the principle of authority in science is not used, period) and glissando always on the merits of what is objected. The commentators do not seem to newcomers q consulting group or the usual Tupamaros q consulting group keyboard: these are probably people who work with science, and can not believe his eyes.
1) Factors senator believes in good faith that what you're trying to do is "science." In this case, poor us, we have a person with a PhD who has worked twenty years in the research q consulting group and who candidly admits that her research should confirm what we think a priori the scientist.
2) Senator factors can have a priori beliefs typical of the voters of peppecrille which led her to make the following argument: since all of the studies so far presented on GM corn (LU DIMONIU!) May have been influenced by external factors (including we put the corruption of scientists at the hands of multinational corporations, politics and reptilian), which are of exemplary honesty I grillina intend to independently verify their studies. This hypothesis could be linked to personal experiences q consulting group of the same senator, who in his years as a researcher may have seen some results coming, so to speak, domesticated, even if this possibility q consulting group is unlikely: the guarantee of a reasonable objectivity in science is derived, as well as the use of procedures that limit as much as possible the conscious or unconscious bias of the researcher, also by the fact that the environment is chock-full of cutthroats in constant competition with each other, to obtain funds, to scale the positions and so on. A scientist does not sputtanerebbe on a theme of co
