Looks like 16+ briefs filed today in Monsanto v Durnell. Few actually addressing the question before the court. Glyphosate toxicology is not being adjudicated. Pretty crazy. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Fear “forever chemicals” on your produce? Demand better science and call out negligence when you see it. Stand up for toxicological science, not EWG or Scientific American takes. substack.com/@allthingsto... * www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-w...

"Forever chemicals" and pesticides are on produce. Can you wash them off?

Fresh fruits and vegetables can often come with toxic residues from pesticides, some of which contain so-called “forever chemicals.” Here’s how to limit your exposure

Nice to wake up to a concise explainer, “Toxicologists Share the Truth About the Dirty Dozen List.” That said, I’d have more than a few caveats and probably a few additional blurbs. www.eatingwell.com/toxicologist...

Vaccines, Diet, and Farming My messaging about acute toxicology being extrapolated to far more important endpoints (i.e., “safer than caffeine”) may have been lost, but it’s still a fun read. www.thebulwark.com/p/robert-ken...

NotebookLM graphics can take pages of text and references and turn them into a surprisingly good visual that captures the main points I’d try to make. A picture really can be worth a 1000 words & sometimes it makes clear that the confident takes on social media missed the point.

Durnell v Monsanto, Glyphosate I've uploaded several rulings, briefs, and some of my additional writings, then asked for a “graphic summary,” and it wasn’t awful. I’ll expand on Substack in time, especially regarding monograph program limitations compared to regulatory consensus.

Service before self I feel the weight of current events & hope for the safety of all our men and women in uniform; those who serve with honor, integrity, and a deep sense of duty. Before you inflame the sitution, do take a moment to think about those that serve & the families behind every uniform.

FYI Glyphosate is not carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic, as concluded by the most recent scientific assessments by EFSA/ECHA. While acknowledging gaps, these assessments represent the most comprehensive evaluation of a pesticide ever conducted. www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/defaul...

I came across this on Substack a few days ago, posted by an MD. “Absurdity” is really the only word that goes beyond mere stupidity. Wouldn't give any air but this tops expert testimony from William Sawyer mentioning the nerve agent sarin & claims glyphosate could phosphorylate DNA.
