      Bloody hell, citing @usrtk too? These are seriously messed up anti-GMO cranks. Again, very disappointing that you would so credulously publicize them.

      Replying to @gorskon @kevinfolta and

      Of course an anti-GMO group will publicize these allegations against Folta. That is independent from the question of whether they are true or not. You should know that. Did Folta take money and other aid from Monsanto and try to hide it later? Is the @nytimes story wrong?

      How is it “independent from the question” when that’s the article you tweeted out? It’s what I’m replying to, but somehow doesn’t apply to what you tweeted? Makes total sense

      Replying to @matthewbabula @gorskon and

      Let's go back to basics. My key issue is whether Folta was taking money from Monsanto and then trying to hide the fact. Folta is suing the @nytimes but here is what they had to say. The more recent allegations are important too if they are true. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/us/food-industry-enlisted-academics-in-gmo-lobbying-war-emails-show.html …

      Replying to @mbalter @gorskon and

      You’re being disingenuous. Your first tweet, which we are replying to, was about his marital life. So, now your key issue is taking money from Monsanto? So why tweet that trash in the first place if you care about it so little?

      As a #MeToo reporter I am definitely concerned about those allegations as well, but also about the role of researchers who advocate for GMO safety and how objective they are.

      That's fair Michael. Can you point to one thing I've said in a blog or in a podcast that is not supported by evidence from a scientific consensus? If not, then your objectivity question is solved. Thank you.

      No, we are not arguing the science of GMOs here. We are arguing whether you have faithfully represented your relationship to industry or not over the years, including Monsanto (not just research funds but funds for advocacy as well.)

      .@mbalter you may have trouble reaching people to understand conflicts of interest and the way corporate money biases research. These guys just hop up and down and screech "science" without understanding . . . science!

      Replying to @thackerpd @kevinfolta and

      Yes. As I have said, I have no strong opinion on GMO safety. What bothers me is branding anti-GMO groups “anti-science.” This seems clearly inaccurate to me in regards to the major anti-GMO activist groups. “Real” scientists have been debating GMO safety for decades.

      I call BS that you have "no strong opinion on GMO safety." Your Tweets suggest otherwise.

          I have made no statements whatsoever about whether I personally think GMOs are safe, so I call BS back. What I have said is that it’s a legitimate scientific discussion, which you do not believe.

          Not exactly. There are criticisms of GMOs to be made, but anti-GMO activists don't make them. The vast majority of criticism leveled by anti-GMO activists against GMOs is based on pseudoscience, cherry picked data, and ad hominem attacks, Very much like the antivaccine movement.
