Jun. 21, 2002 return to webpage DAILY NEWS A Nobel cause Six Nobel laureates demand EU action to stem the brain drain to the US. By Pat Hagan European Union leaders gathering for a summit in Seville today and tomorrow no doubt already have a packed agenda. But now they have another contentious issue to mull over. Six Nobel laureates this week penned a joint letter to them criticising the EU's science policy and demanding a doubling of research funds to stem the 'brain drain' to the US. In a stinging attack, the six leading figures said fundamental change is needed if the EU is to achieve its stated goal of creating "the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010." The signatories are 1992 French physics laureate Georges Charpak , 1984 Italian Physics laureate Carlo Rubbia , 1982 British Chemistry laureate Sir Aaron Klug Bengt Samuelsson (1982), Italy's Rita Levi-Montalcini (1986) and Belgian Christian de Duve It's a carefully timed exercise designed to heighten the profile of an issue which many in the European scientific community feel has not had the attention it deserves. "It's pretty clear that we do not invest enough although the UK is worse than some other EU countries by quite a margin," said Peter Cotgreave, director of pressure group Save British Science . "The US spends more and has more attractive places where you can go and do exciting science, all because the system has more resources in it.

Subject: FWD: Newly Released Mad Cow Sources From: Juliet Upton Head, Press and Public Relations The Royal Society, London, UK The Society has been involved for many years in the BSE debate. In 1990 an RS/ABSW Press briefing was run on the scientific and research aspects of BSE. In 1993 the Society ran a two-day scientific conference with leading experts from around the world to discuss prion diseases (of which BSE is an example). The Society has been seriously considering the recent situation and today issued the following briefing.

Search Advanced Search Home Glossary Index ... Parliament Live section... Parliamentary Publications and Archives Site Map Bills Hansard Directories Frequently Asked Questions Judicial Work Select Committee on Science and Technology Third Report CHAPTER 4: COMMUNICATING UNCERTAINTY AND RISK 4.1 In common parlance, "scientific" is almost synonymous with "certain". This perception, which is probably picked up at school, is virtually true of much old and well-established scientific knowledge. In many of the areas of current concern, from climate change to cancer, it is however very wide of the mark. As the RCEP put it, "Science is not a matter of certainties but of hypotheses and experiments. It advances by examining alternative explanations for phenomena, and by abandoning superseded views. Such incompleteness is inherent in the nature of science, especially environmental science, which deals with 'the world outside the laboratory'" (RCEP p 442). 4.2 When science and society cross swords, it is often over the question of risk. Risk, as is widely understood, has at least two dimensions: the chance of something happening, and the seriousness of the consequences if it does. It is often the case with new phenomena or theories that scientists are uncertain about both these things, and also uncertain about the chains of cause and effect supposedly at work. In this situation, any assurances which science may give must necessarily be hedged about with qualifications ("It appears to be safe, on the following assumptions which require further research"). Yet the public, or the media purporting to speak for the public, may demand unqualified assurances ("Is it 100 per cent safe?"), and may even perceive and present the response as being an unqualified assurance when it was not. By this means, the stage is set for confusion, cynicism and even panic.

They have written to the editorial board of Science to complain of an alleged deal between the journal and a Swiss-based agrochemicals company, Syngenta, which wants to store the rice genome on its commercial database. "If this is so, then it represents a very serious threat to genomics research," they write. Syngenta announced last year that it had completed a draft map of the rice genome and now wanted to publish the finished map in Science and so claim the scientific priority that comes with publication in a prestige journal.

November 1, 1999 The Guardian Pro-GM food scientist 'threatened editor' By Laurie Flynn and Michael Sean Gillard Top pro-GM food scientist threatened me, says editor The editor of one of Britain's leading medical journals, the Lancet, says he was threatened by a senior member of the Royal Society, the voice of the British science establishment, that his job would be at risk if he published controversial research questioning the safety of genetically modified foods. Richard Horton declined to name the man who telephoned him. But the Guardian has identified him as Peter Lachmann, the former vice-president and biological secretary of the Royal Society and president of the Academy of Medical Sciences. The Guardian has been told that an influential group within the Royal Society has set up what appears to be a "rebuttal unit" to push a pro-biotech line and counter opposing scientists and environmental groups. Dr Horton said he was called at his office in central London on the morning of Wednesday October 13, two days before the Lancet published a research paper by Arpad Pusztai , the scientist at the centre of the GM controversy.

78. Nobel Laureates Call For Action On Global Warming At The Kyoto Climate Summit sir aaron klug, President, The Royal Society (UK) * Gustavo Kouri, VicePresident,Cuban Academy of Sciences * Torvard Laurent, Former President, http://dieoff.org/page123.htm

Home WORLD SCIENTISTS' CALL FOR ACTION AT THE KYOTO CLIMATE SUMMIT Five years ago, in the World Scientists' Warning to Humanity , 1600 of the world's senior scientists sounded an unprecedented warning: Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms. Addressed to political, industrial, religious, and scientific leaders, the Warning demonstrated that the scientific community had reached a consensus that grave threats imperil the future of humanity and the global environment. However, over four years have passed, and progress has been woefully inadequate. Some of the most serious problems have worsened. Invaluable time has been squandered because so few leaders have risen to the challenge. The December 1997 Climate Summit in Kyoto, Japan, presents a unique opportunity. The world's political leaders can demonstrate a new commitment to the protection of the environment. The goal is to strengthen the 1992 Framework Convention on Climate Change by agreeing to effective controls on human practices affecting climate. This they can and must do, primarily by augmenting the Convention's voluntary measures with legally binding commitments to reduce industrial nations' emissions of heat-trapping gases significantly below 1990 levels in accordance with a near-term timetable.
