Re: The Frog Of War
I don't know this particular story or line of research that well, but I can tell you that he must do good science because his research is peer-reviewed and published in the best journals. As a fellow professor, I find his approach kind of liberating, though I don't currently plan to send any lewd email to major corporations! Scientists strive for the truth -- we may not find it, but we try. We don't strive to make the biggest profit and hide the evidence of our failures so we can keep making money, like the corporations that fight people like Hayes.
I'm sort of surprised this is even a big deal. It is well known that all the elevated levels female hormones in bodies of water that come from women taking the pill and peeing in toilets, which is not removed by sewage treatment, ends up feminizing fish and amphibians and causing these exact kinds of effects seen in atrazine.
