1. What is your relationship with Monsanto? I have no formal relationship with the company. Friends, former students, colleagues from previous jobs work there. They once made a relatively small donation to my university to cover travel/production costs of my science communication program in August of 2014.

I have spoken at the company twice about science communication and enjoyed collegial hospitality. As is clear by emails, I'm glad to share thoughts and opinions with them on science communication. I hold no formal capacity in this regard. I do this with any company and show no special favor to Monsanto. 2. What is your relationship with Ketchum? Ketchum runs the GMO Answers website.
