French professor Seralini draws fire over International Biographical Centre certificate

Director of the WA Agricultural Biotechnology Centre at Murdoch University in Perth, Professor Mike Jones said the CRIIGEN website “proudly” displayed Professor Seralini’s [International Biographical Centre] certificate, despite the State government’s consumer protection warning. “You really have to wonder about his scientific credentials if he can be fooled by this scam but perhaps someone else nominated him,” he said. [...] Professor Jones succeeded in throwing doubt onto some of the points made during the talk. But the French Professor also conveyed a strong message regarding the relatively short time-frame for testing and scientific discovery for GM foods, compared to the regulatory approval processes required for drugs.
