<a href="https://castlehomecomfort.com/drain-cleaning/"></a> Earlier this week I learned that a dozen public sector scientists working in the field of biotechnology were hit with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from a California-based group opposed to GMO foods. I spoke with many of the targeted scientists and also with the anti-GMO activist who\u00a0filed the document requests. My story will appear in the next issue of <em>Science<\/em>, a magazine\/journal published weekly on Thursdays.<\/p>\n<p>
