Charles, I think this statement applies mostly to public interest groups,
not scientists. 

Can you say Dr Lu??? One of dozens....  

 

ANY research on neonic synergies that does not also include the other major
players in the pesticide world at realistic dosages is at best disingenuous,
and worthless.


How can we do it properly if we don't start with one thing at a time? 


 Real simple,  any test are done with a control other than nothing.  Your
thoughts on this are exactly the problem,  I can't really do the study right
so its valuable,  so I will just do the little bit that interest me and will
get me funded....  that's the thought process of todays researchers.  



Well this is why it's good to have people looking at ALL aspects of a
problem.  Because sometimes there are surprises.  And, if nerdy scientists
aren't allowed to pursue oddities that only interest a few, we wouldn't have
penicillin or any of the subsequent antibiotics, the human genome project
would still be struggling with short sequence assembly problems, and Tesla
wouldn't exist.....to name a few things that we'd have missed out on.


Never said or implied don't tinker,  but with todays  "free press" and
internet game,  The eggheads  that are our researchers need to think about
what they do and say much more than in the past.   The things your talking
about are not the same as "lets get funding to show pesticides are
bad"......
