Every biologist in the world knows amphibians show any change in environment long before other species. Every biologist knows that.
His work has been duplicated. Other research, outside of this lab, has been conducted regarding this chemical and produced adverse effects. I strongly suggest Europe, the continent that separates human rights from corporate rights, provide law that protects investigation by scientists in esteem above corporate harassment.
It is Europe that conducts incredible research on the basis of the simple trust of the work of their scientists. There is no other continent that would believe scientists could prove Einstein's equation was truly an equation based in solid reality of the order of the universe.The Hadron Collider would never exist with the protection of Europe's coveted belief in that scientists are valuable. Europe believes scientific investigation is not simply a luxury, but, a necessity to any world of understanding and compassion.
Tyrone Hayes is African American and a target of hate by a paranoid corporation that is scared of the truth about their own chemicals. He is peer reviewed in professional journals, has brought many wonderful scientists into their own research that is valued in this world. He made headway for minority scientists in the USA. There are not nearly enough of them. He is a valuable professional who has endured through years of looking over his shoulder in order to carry out his work and etch out a life for himself and his graduate students.
This is corporate harassment. I don't care what Syngenta wants or doesn't want. This is LEGALLY harassment. Syngenta is a paranoid entity in this world with intentions of causing harm to the professional status of respected scientists. It needs to stop. The USA isn't going to pass legislation that would outlaw such harassment and protect intellectual knowledge, which is property, in order for growth in research rather than it's inhibition. There are those in the USA that would like to see God in the laboratories and no one else.
Europe needs to set the standard to protect scientists from corporate greed which is at the basis of this life long harassment. Europe can easily become a protective place for scientists seeking a safe and sane place to live. Someone has to do it. The USA is to tainted in it's politics to value it's own brain trust.
There is no reason why scientists cannot find funding in the fines achieved through legal liability of corporate harassment. I think it is long overdue and a matter of human rights.
...Not long ago, (click here) Hayes saw a description of himself on Wikipedia that he found disrespectful, and he wasn’t sure whether it was an attack by Syngenta or whether there were simply members of the public who thought poorly of him. He felt deflated when he remembered the arguments he’d had with Syngenta-funded pundits. “It’s one thing if you go after me because you have a philosophical disagreement with my science or if you think I’m raising alarm where there shouldn’t be any,” he said. “But they didn’t even have their own opinions. Someone was paying them to take a position.” He wondered if there was something inherently insane about the act of whistle-blowing; maybe only crazy people persisted. He was ready for a fight, but he seemed to be searching for his opponent.
One of his first graduate students, Nigel Noriega, who runs an organization devoted to conserving tropical forests, told me that he was still recovering from the experience of his atrazine research, a decade before. He had come to see science as a rigid culture, “its own club, an élite society,” Noriega said. “And Tyrone didn’t conform to the social aspects of being a scientist.” Noriega worried that the public had little understanding of the context that gives rise to scientific findings. “It is not helpful to anyone to assume that scientists are authoritative,” he said. “A good scientist spends his whole career questioning his own facts. One of the most dangerous things you can do is believe.”
In the meantime, I can see anthropologists and/or biologists from esteemed universities carrying out studies of the people and their health in areas where atrazine is densely used.
Public health records would provide a good beginning.
Atrazine was found in 1958. It was a time of naive understanding of the dangers of chemicals in the environment. It wasn't until the 1970s when Rachel Carson found a way to have the people of the USA understand the dangers of these chemicals that protections were passed. Those protections have been played with ever since by politicians bought and paid for by corporations. However, there are health records before this chemical was ever used and then subsequent decades. I would strongly suggest protections for those historical records be ordered by a court to prevent their disposal and/or destruction.
I wish everyone luck.
