**** I'm not sure how many people will be able to attend but Michael Meacher, former Minister of State for the Environment in Tony Blair's Labour government and member of British Parliament for over 30 years will be speaking at Tufts on Thursday, September 18 at 4pm. The talk is titled: Resolving US-EU Conflict on GM and Food Supply Issues. If you are interested in genetically modified ("GM") organisms, responsible genetics, food supply issues, or just in hearing a well-spoken government official with real opinions (good or bad), you might want to find your way to the Coolidge Room in Ballou Hall on Tufts' Medford campus a week from Thursday.
