We are aware that you're there battling on ACSH's behalf. Thank you! However it does gets frustrating at times when we feel as though we can't count on the unrestricted support of a company like Monsanto ?whose products and technologies are constantly vilified by activists groups but heralded by ACSH. Each and every day, we work hard to prove our worth to companies such as Monsanto whose science?based endeavors provide so much benefit to American consumers and public health, yet are vilified constantly. As our revered, departed president Beth Whelan would often lament on these occasions, ?If a company like (X Monsanto in this case) won't support us, then who will?? We spend a tremendous amount of our time and limited resources simply trying to raise funds to support our efforts. Nevertheless, below (and attached for your convenience) are stats on ACSH's general outreach programs during the past twelve months, which we hope will serve to bolster your plea for support on our behalf. In addition we are also presently working on submitting ACSH's scientific commentary to IARC on diesel exhaust and as I've informed you we are also coming up to speed on the issue (in fact, I?ve sought information on ?Meeting 112? yet have not found anything new emanating from that body). Thanks again for your help.

Gil and the ACSH team Working on this and several other items- poor corn prices are putting pressure on Not asking for just letting you know that budgets are in flux and that I/we in Scientific Affairs cannot ?pull the trigger? on funding as readily as might usually be the case. Do you have media impressions/ impact data I can share as part of a presentation in support of I think this is a no?brainer but I want to convey my assessment to management as effectively as possible. (I have ALREADY assembled the titles and links of the many relevant postings since Jan 1 2014 already and of course point out the pesticide and GM publications) Dan Gilbert Ross MD.
