For further information on Dr. Álvarez-Buylla's presentation on Mexico's fight against GM maize and the scientific evidence underpinning it, please note:

• US Right to Know has a resource page with background and key documents.
• Timothy A. Wise and Stacy Malkan summarized some of the key scientific evidence in the Scientific Dossier in the article,  New scientific analyses underpin Mexico’s restrictions on GM corn and glyphosate due to health risks
• Scientific Dossier on Genetically Modified Corn and its Effects is the English translation of Mexico's research, a 200-page report with 1,200 references. It includes a 20-page section on evidence of health risks from GM corn and 19 pages on glyphosate risks. It also includes a long section on evidence of risks to the environment and to native maize diversity.
• Friends of the Earth US, in formal comments to the panel, documented rising levels of toxicity in GM corn exported to Mexico: High Levels of Genetically Engineered Toxins and Glyphosate in GMO Corn Pose Serious Health Risks in Mexico.
• U.S. Wins Controversial Ruling in GM Corn Dispute with Mexico - Timothy A. Wise's analysis of the trade ruling in favor of the U.S.
• Wise's analysis of Mexico's constitutional reform banning GM maize cultivation and the fallacies in the trade ruling: Mexico’s enacts constitutional ban on cultivation of genetically modified corn.

If there are any specific questions, Tim Wise who moderated the first half would be happy to field them at tim.wise@tufts.edu.

Thank you again for attending and see you at future events.
