When “Almost the Same” Is Not the Same
How genetically engineered and synthetic biology–derived proteins may quietly shape immune health and gene expression. Modern food and biotechnology are increasingly built on a simple promise: if a protein looks the same on paper, it should behave the same in the body. This assumption underlies many genetically engineered and synthetic biology–derived foods now entering the marketplace, from precision-fermented dairy proteins to lab-produced amino acids and enzymes. But human biology does not...
From Crib to Cloud
The Pediatric Cost of Atmospheric Intervention and Environmental Uncertainty Executive Summary Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental exposures during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. While air pollution and toxic exposures are well-established pediatric health risks, new and poorly regulated atmospheric manipulations raise additional alarms that demand scientific transparency and ethical scrutiny.

The National Citizens Inquiry
GMOScience Speaks on Behalf of our Children and Food Safety
Over the past two years, a citizen-led and independently funded initiative was established, The National Citizens Inquiry, to amplify the voices of ordinary Canadian citizens and document their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating outside of government influence, this initiative sought to understand the events that unfolded and develop recommendations to ensure that future crises are managed with minimal harm to the public.
Pediatric Environmental Health Questionnaire
Assessing the Top Ten Toxic Exposures in Children
The Pediatric Environmental Health Questionnaire (PEHQ) is a tool for practitioners and parents to aid in assessing children at risk of harm due to environmental toxicants. It is not meant to be all-inclusive, but a screening aid to identify at-risk children and create awareness regarding a prominent and overlooked contributor to chronic health issues.
