Radio Interview with CSS member Prof. Edward A. D. Mitchell

03 October 2015
Duration: 21:19

Since the mid-1990s, agriculture has experienced a quiet revolution: neonicotinoids. Plants sprayed with neonicotinoids incorporate the toxic substance and become toxic to insects themselves.

Prof. Dr. Gilles-Eric Séralini receives Whistleblower Award 2015 for public disclosure of risks to life and health

The Federation of German Scientists (VDW - Federation of German Scientists) and the German Section of the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms (IALANA) present the 2015 Whistleblower Award equally to the molecular biologists Prof. Dr. Gilles-Eric Séralini from the University of Caen (Normandy, France) and the former US drone pilot Brandon Bryant.

The awards will be presented on
Friday, 16 October 2015, at 7:30 pm
in the Bürgersaal of Karlsrue City Hall.

In 2012, Prof. Dr. Gilles-Eric Séralini and colleagues published a long-term feeding study with rats, showing toxic and carcinogenic effects of the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup and genetically engineered Roundup tolerant maize, in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (Elsevier). Subsequently the publication was highly criticised and attacked and ultimately led Elsevier to withdraw the paper on grounds of "inconclusiveness". This meant that the data was no longer to be cited. According to the Committee on Publication Ethids (COPE) this procedure violates the international publishing ethics: Withdrawing papers and the data they contain is only justifiedin cases of severe offences such as demonstrable falsification or manipulation, "honest error" or plagiarsm. In 2014, another peer-reviewed journal, Environmental Sciences Europe (Springer) re-published the paper.

Details about the Whistleblower Award Presentation 2015 and reasoning of the jury can be found here.

Application CSS membership
Fields with a star * are mandatory. Although the additional information after the application button are optional we still would be very glad, if you could provide us with those informations. The infos will only be used internally and for the coordination amongst the members.
The different contributions are legally equal and bring no advantages or disadvantages for the member Participation in our association should not fail because of money. Contact us if the reduced fee is still too expensive for you.
Every Saturday, CSS sends out a newsfeed curated by D. Langmeier, in which the latest papers, articles, videos, etc. on the subject of agriculture and the climate crisis are presented with brief commentary. CSS also sends out a quarterly newsletter about its activities. However, most of the infos in the Newsletter you are going to get via our membership info mailing.

Please check at the top of this form, if you can see a green confirmation message.
If you neither get this message on your screen [nor one on your  provided e-mail,] then your browser settings are (probably) too strict/secure. Congratulations on that!
Consider lowering your settings for our webpage (temporarily) or use our pdf-form and send that to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Bytheway: Although there is a signature field in the pdf-form, you don't have to print it out and scan it only for that purpose, because under Swiss law a contract about joining an association does not require a signature.
