The Argentine molecular biologist Andrés Carrasco bar tender has died. Carrasco was especially known for having proven agricultural poison Roundups harmful effects on humans and for defending all those affected by agricultural use of toxic pesticides. Condolences were flowing to by the Argentinian citizen congregations of the covenant UACs mailing list after molecular biologist Andrés Carrasco passed away last Saturday at the age of 67. From places that have a reputation for his opposition to large scale mining projects, fracking, hydro-electric dams and especially spraying of soybeans modified to be resistant to Roundup, noticed his work.
Using laboratory experiments on tadpoles and chicken fetuses showed Carrasco to glyphosate, whose commercial name is Roundup, has negative health bar tender consequences such as birth defects. bar tender His research was met with disapproval by either agricultural establishment or the government, for which soybean bar tender production and exports have been a source of income in the multi-billion dollar class. For the "sprayed communities" who long argued that the toxins that glyphosate is harmful to health, however, he was seen as a hero who dared to stand up to power. Criticized
One of the criticisms leveled against Carrasco's study was that he contacted a day earlier accession to spread awareness of their findings, prior to the results published in an academic journal. It was on 13 April 2009 in the newspaper Pagina 12, and journalist as he told of his study was Dario Aranda.
Minister of Technology and Science, Lino Barañao were joined bar tender later on to the crowd who tried to undermine legitimteten of Carrasco's findings by pointing out that the Argentine Research Council bar tender CONICET not aware of his study. In a later interview has Barañao also stated that glyphosate is no more dangerous than drinking a glass of water with salt.
Carrasco went into a public debate on how academic freedom works, and that research councils and universities do not need to approve a study before it is implemented, bar tender and that academic journals do not confirm that a laboratory study is done correctly - it can only repeat studies done.
One of his repeated arguments at the amount of appearances he made after his study made public was that Argentina has turned into a nation-wide laboratory, because no one knows what impact the widespread spraying bar tender has in the long run. With that argument did Carrasco not only criticize the classification of insecticides based on its direct bar tender mortality instead of any chronic effects on repeated spraying occasions, as is the case today throughout Argentina. He also wanted to focus on the so-called precautionary principle where the burden of proof lies on those who victimize other people and species at risk, and not on those potentially affected. On the affected side
The fact that Carrasco bar tender was a renowned scientist with 30 years experience, and Director of the Molecular Biology Laboratory at the University of Buenos Aires, and, not least, former president of the Argentine Research Council CONICET, meant that it was hard to deny his results, although it were those who tried. bar tender
Some of the words from the newspaper article in which Andrés Carrasco presented his results are most likely to survive as a memory of his deed. He said: "I discovered nothing bar tender new., I say the same thing as the families that are sprayed, it's just that I confirmed it in a laboratory." With these words he put a focus on the academic research relationship with the surrounding community, and the role that big business can have in the production of knowledge.
