Private Eye - 2 November 2001

The Glasgow Herald had to pay libel damages to Lord Melchett
and Greenpeace over a letter making spurious allegations that
the charity had deliberately spread unfounded fears about GM
foods to further Lord Melchett's financial interests.

The author of this letter, which also wrongly suggested that
Greenpeace had inappropriate links with commercial organisations,
was Professor Anthony Trewavas, pro-GM professor on plant
biochemistry at Edinburgh University.

Could this be the same Prof Anthony Trewavas listed as one of
the Royal Society "experts" who are recommended and available
to help busy science hacks get their stories right?
