GMO or OMG?

isovector GMO

How precisely can we determine the πNN coupling constant from the isovector GMO sum rule? Abstract The isovector GMO sum rule for zero energy forward πN scattering is critically studied to obtain the charged πNN coupling constant using the precise π − p and π − d scattering lengths deduced recently from pionic atom experiments. This direct determination leads to g

Rethinking GMO Regulation

Despite conflicting claims about the performance of Bt cotton, in 2002 the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee approved its commercial cultivation in several states of north India. Judging from the lackadaisical manner in which the genetically modified cotton was handled in the southern and western states, serious doubts about the efficiency of the regulatory agencies persist. More democrati...

The psychology of GMO

To label or not? That was on the California ballot during last year's US elections, owing to a push from food safety advocates to have genetically modified food advertised as such, as has been standard in Europe for years. Those lined up in favor of the food labeling initiative argued that the consumer has a right to know what they're eating. But in a counterattack , a coalition of agribusiness...
