Something strange is going on with this article. 🤔huffpost.com/entry/monsanto…
Specifically, it is weirdly similar to a wiki-style entry on a website called SourceWatch written almost entirely by a user named "JessicaJames" (H/T to @mem_somerville for bringing this to my attention): sourcewatch.org/index.php?titl…

Hello Twitter friends! Our team had a paper come out describing years of work in the semi-field in Burkina Faso, and I want to talk about what we found and how this fungal biotechnology is developing. science.sciencemag.org/content/364/64…
First, let's describe the platform we're working with. I say platform because the technology we're working with is interchangeable.

I have seen a lot of snide/bad takes on the findings of this study, so I wanted to weigh in. nature.com/articles/s4156…
I'm not sure if the SharedIt™️ link is reliable, so here's another link to the study entitled "Extreme opponents of genetically modified foods know the least but think they know the most". I wonder how many people read past the catchy title... nature.com/articles/s4156…

Jennifer Zaspel is talking about bugs behaving badly. The subtitle is Using Moths Misbehavuors to Illuminate Origins of Insect-Host Associations. Her alliteration game is enviable. #EntSoc18#JAM18
She’s describing occult moths that feed on blood and other secretions. Most moths prefer nectar only, but you never know. 🤷🏽♂️ #EntSoc18#JAM18

What nonsense! This is a transparent attempt to stoke fears and spread misinformation. This is a series of cards developed all attacking gene drive technologies. This group is ideologically hostile toward genetic technologies. #SBSTTA2018#SBSTTALive
They made up their mind about gene drive, then looked for reasons to be afraid of it. Sincere concern would come first, then opposition to the technology would come after. #SBSTTA2018#SBSTTALive
