There is nothing in the web page you quote that refers to the Council for BioTechnology Information giving support to OSS. I think you are just making this up. http://www.whybiotech.com/index.asp?id=about The Council for Biotechnology Information communicates science-based information about the benefits and safety of agricultural and food biotechnology. Its members are the leading biotechnology companies and trade associations. Did you bother to read what this Council is doing to improve the environment. You probably stopped when you saw the words chemical companies. Take off the blinders. ---- http://www.whybiotech.com/links/index.asp#10 Member Companies € BASF € Bayer CropScience € Dow AgroSciences LLC € DuPont € Monsanto Company € Syngenta Research Institutions Office of Chemistry and Society, McGill University (Canada) (There were more but McGill is the one we're talking about.) ------- Supporters of the motion cited the fact that **one third** (--- HELLO!) of McGill's budget is from corporate sponsors and questioned whether the money was funding student interests or those of the corporation. First you attack the Chemical Companies Then you attack renown professors. Now you are attacking the Universities. Is anyone safe? ---- McGill University, funding partnerships http://pgss.mcgill.ca/POLICIES/index...try%20Research University/Industry Research Partnerships Preamble A common form of university/industry partnership involves universities contracting out the use of their publicly funded facilities. Another common kind of partnership involves signing research contracts linking university researchers to industry, whereby the university receives industry money to generate research in a specific area. Such contracts may entail the **transfer of intellectual property to industry**. (Yeah, McGill isn't the only one but it seems that, if industry puts up the money and the public puts up the researchers, property rights should at least be split.) Oh, now it becomes a money issue. Where's your idealism now? The Office of Chemistry and Society, McGill University, is partially funded by BASF, Bayer CropScience, Dow AgroSciences LLC, DuPont, Monsanto Company, and Syngenta. Are these philanthropic organizations, Dr. Joe is a shill, a very charming one, but still a shill. I mean you wouldn't expect them to hire "The Dick" Cheney? Of course for a guy like you who probably had trouble finishing high school, we should respect your opinions over the good doctor. Sorry Billygoat, this is not a home run, but an end run that makes no sense. |
