One reader, a self-identified homemaker with a background in nutrition, wrote this week that:
“It is very hard to come by solid, peer-reviewed research/reviews on GMOs when you aren’t in academia or
working in a medical setting. It really is a service to the public to make scientific studies open knowledge so
individuals can make informed decisions. Thank you!”
A group of researchers in Canada recently commented on the difference the open access makes:
“We are a group of kinesiology / psychology / technology applied researchers thinking to expand into design for
special needs. Autism is one area of interest. Open access provides us with contact, ideas,and knowledge to
achieve this on a limited budget. Thank you.”
