When I comment about independent science, I envision a lab, a team of qualified, certified, experienced scientists accomplishing the same science as DFO, with an agreed-upon methodology, an agreed-upon process, where the outcome leads to truth, not something that is biased towards industry.
I posted a press release on my LinkedIn page, and I want to read to you what Dr. Kristi Miller-Saunders responded with:
A glaring case of industry’s right of refusal when it comes to dissemination of science. The only interpretation allowed is that put forward by industry. Federal and provincial governments knew about this study, and allowed it to stay blocked for 10 years while they funded other scientists to counter the findings.
That is what needs to be done away with, so that we have independent science.
