It's as if EPA's new OASES office, the replacement for its science research arm, is named for the oasis it will create for industry. Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta and Dan Costa, former high level ORD officials, discuss what's likely to come next.

Why is Bayer seeking legal impunity in US over glyphosate?
With Bayer’s CEO Bill Anderson personally attending Donald Trump's inauguration, the German agri-giant Bayer seems to be cosying up to the new administration. Now a draft of the new US Farm Bill contains a section, reportedly “drafted with the aid of Bayer”, that would prevent state and local authorities from setting their own standards on pesticide safety warnings.
