New Scientist - glyphosate, increases the risk of fungal infections
"Franz Heymann" wrote in message ...
"Mike Lyle" wrote in message om... [...] You can't keep these things secret. Yes you can. I have spent a complete career doing research, and publishing in refereed journals at a time of my and my colleagues' choosing, when our research had reached an appropriate stage. Getting in touch with "the media" came afterwards, if the matter was of sufficient public interest. [...] Well, all right: sometimes you can keep these things secret, and sometimes you can't. I'd say that the more likely it was that the public would be inteerested, the harder it would be to keep the lid on. And, as I say, no possible harm could result from a misreading of this story, except perhaps to the makers of Roundup, and they're famous for their capacity to look after themselves. Mike. |

It is not so much a case of keeping the work secret as to refrain from running to the pop press. We always discussed our work freely with colleagues in the same field at all stages of progress. It was unthinkable for a colleague to blab to the press before we were ready to publish. I'd say that the more likely it was that the public would be inteerested, the harder it would be to keep the lid on.
