Anti-GM corn study reconsidered: Séralini finally responds to torrent of criticism
We are now two months into L’affaire Séralini—the publication of a maize rodent study by French scientist Gilles-Eric Séralini and seven co-authors, which has been vigorously dissected by the media and scientists on all sides of the genetically modified organism (GMO) debate.
