Dr. Elaine Ingham
"If that had occurred, the genetically engineered KP could have colonized the entire planet over the course of several years, turning all of the soil where it grew into barren dirt."
Ingham said that problem was and still is that the EPA only looks at the immediate impact of new genetically modified organisms on animals, and does not take into account the larger impact on the ecosystem as a whole. That approach can work to a limited extent when working with chemicals, which can break down and dissipate over time. But living organisms have the ability to procreate and overwhelm the natural ecosystem.
After the Holmes research, Ingham claims, the EPA didn't accept their findings. Further, she said that she received considerable flack from the EPA, which also objected to Holmes' graduation because they thought his research was flawed. The EPA repeated the experiment but never released the results to the general public.

Fortunately a team of independent scientists, headed by Dr. Elaine Ingham of Oregon State University, decided to run their own tests

Rosalind Franklin
Who Discovered DNA?

There is probably no other woman scientist with as much controversy surrounding her life and work as Rosalind Franklin. Franklin was responsible for much of the research and discovery work that led to the understanding of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. The story of DNA is a tale of competition and intrigue, told one way in James Watson's book The Double Helix, and quite another in Anne Sayre's study, Rosalind Franklin and DNA.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin: Pioneer Molecular Biologist
Twenty five years after the fact, the first clear recitation of Franklin's contribution appeared as it permeated Watson's account, The Double Helix, although it was buried under allegations that Franklin did not know how to interpret her own data and that she should have therefore shared her work with Wilkins, Watson, and Crick.

and you'll never even hear about watson and cricks female lab assistant who did all their hard work...

just two examples.. there are many more..

trust me, people know about rosalind franklin. text books mention her as the person who frist really discovered the double helix structure with her x ray crystallgraphs, and they (or atleast my textbook) prortrayed watson & crick as the douchebags who took these graphs and figured out the rest, taking all the credit. we don't live in 1950s america where woman aren't considered "smart enough" to make these sort of discoveries.

I will also like to add Jane Goodall and Diane Fossey

^Agreed, if even I, that totally couldn't care less about science or genetics, know Rosalind Franklin, you shouldn't worry :D Well I had to study it at school a few years ago.

glad that her story is out.. linus pauling was also sabotaged by them.. linus pauling, and rosalind franklin, should have received the noble prize that watson and crick basically stole with the help of their universities.. :/

people can say biotech is alright because of government testing but would you really trust a bunch of corporations and governments .. who think nothing of ripping people off.. with gene splicing technology?
