A Generous Offer to Dr. Huber -Turned Down
This is the beginning of the end of this particular sad tale of fear mongering and misinformation. Anti-GMO darling Dr. Don M Huber is on a tour of the Sunshine State, giving two talks in Tallahassee and one in Gainesville. In Tallahassee he got a rock-star's welcome with coverage on the news describing how dangerous GMO food is, and a meeting with politicians. On my calendar November 12 had a big red circle on it for some time. Huber was in town tonight to tell his story of poison food and deadly new organisms. I went with one of my favorite organic & sustainable extension/research faculty and had a GREAT time. I never saw Huber's whole shtick.

A significant portion of the presentation addressed his mystery organism. He allegedly has identified this novel not-quite-a-virus, not-quite-a-fungus
