The Poison Project  and the role of the EPA in colluding with agricultural and chemical corporations to promote as well as hide the dangers of toxic substances from the public

Dr. Jonathan Latham is the co-founder and executive director of the Bioscience Resource Project in Ithaca NY, a public interest organization that provides and conducts independent research analysis in agriculture biosciences. The Project is also host for the alternative scientific news source on the impacts of food and biotechnology on human health and the environment, Independent Science News.  Dr. Latham has been at the forefront for initiating a debate that challenges the dominant medical DNA theory as a fundamental cause of diseases. He holds a Masters in Crop Genetics, a doctorate in Virology and did postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin's Department of Genetics. Last year, Jonathan's Project in collaboration with the Center for Media and Democracy released a trove of over 20,000 rediscovered documents from the chemical industry and federal regulatory agencies, include science papers, internal memos and reports, minutes from private meetings and more. Now being called the Poison Papers, these documents show that as far as the 1920s up to the present, private chemical companies, including DuPont, Monsanto, Union Carbide and many others, in league with government agencies such the EPA, USDA, FDA, Veterans Administration and others, have consistently concealed the scientific facts chemical and pesticide hazards. He is currently writing a book about how genetic science has been manipulated and misrepresented by corporate interests.  The Bioscience Resource Project's website is BioscienceResource.org and its news site for truly authentic independent review of conventional corporate research is IndependentScienceNews.org
