"Academics Review was founded in January 2010 to ensure that sound science is widely and easily available to inform us all on some of the most critical issues of our time. Some of those issues relate to how we grow our food: what is safe and what is not, what constitutes real advancement, and similarly vital scientific and technological topics that affect how we live.
Academics Review is an association of academic professors, researchers, teachers and credentialed authors from around the world who are committed to the unsurpassed value of the peer review in establishing sound science. We stand against falsehoods, half-baked assertions and theories or claims not subjected to this kind of rigorous review. This is the mission of Academics Review.
Academics Review was founded by two independent professors of food-related microbiology, nutritional, and safety issues on opposite ends of the planet: in rural central Illinois, and in urban Melbourne, Australia. Bruce M. Chassy, Ph.D., and David Tribe, Ph.D., are two of the most widely recognized experts in the world on how plants grow, and the resulting effects plants, as foods, can have on human health."
Too often food issues such as GM crops lead to lay opinions that are based on emotion and misinformation. Bruce and David and their co-workers are dedicated to getting the peer reviewed science into the debate on these issues. As we saw in an earlier post this month, facts don't always sway people's opinions, but presenting the facts from peer reviewed science is the only way to get things done as difficult as it may be. Here is a link to Academics Review so you may learn more about this very important work.
