Congratulations
to all of us!
The full academic status of Dr. David Carpenter has been fully restored!
Note from David Carpenter:
Hi Everyone:
I am so grateful to each of you for your support during this trying time that I have had between the University at Albany and Monsanto. It is sad that even universities are so intimidated by big and evil corporations that they respond in a manner that interferes with student education, academic freedom and harms to the reputation of scientists that are only focused on protecting the health of the public.
Thanks much - David Carpenter

Read the Press Release from Dr. David Carpenter and Judith Enck
Dr. David Carpenter has been an expert witness in court cases against Monsanto that have cost the multinational giant tens of millions of dollars.
So Bayer AG, the company that bought Monsanto, set out to destroy David's career and reputation and undermine his ability to act as an expert witness. For a while, the University at Albany went along with Bayer's outrageous plan.
But together, we stopped them!
Thanks to your support, Dr. Carpenter's full academic status has been restored and the effort by Bayer has been rebuffed.
Thank you!
