"Science journal accused over GM article" James Meek, science correspondent Saturday June 8, 2002 The Guardian Britain's most prestigious science journal, Nature, ignored the advice of most of its own advisers when it took the unprecedented step of retracting an article claiming that DNA from genetically modified maize had leached into native, wild maize in Mexico, BBC2's Newsnight claimed last night. One of the authors of the original paper was Dr Ignacio Chapela, a Mexican scientist based at the University of California, Berkeley. Confirmation of his findings came last month, not long after the Nature disavowal, when Jorge Soberon, executive secretary of Mexico's national commission on biodiversity, told a conference at the Hague that tests showed that contamination of wild crops by rogue DNA was far worse than first reported. http://www.guardian.co.uk/gmdebate/Story/0,2763,729655,00.html --------------------------------------------------------- "Perceptions" note: No surprise that English establishment sci journals are heavily censored by big money and political interests Situation hasn't changed since suppression of Wallace's real evolutionary discoveries in favor of Darwin's "selfish is best" divisive and racist version - check http://www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/wallace.html#genius More examples of science censorship at: http://www.perceptions.couk.com/greatest.html#tinsley http://www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/uchoose.html#journals --------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/fakenat.txt
