In this episode I speak with my friend Robert Schooler about his personal experience as a student at Cornell University observing first-hand how corporations like Monsanto seek to push propaganda on students and bias science curriculum in favor of corporate profits and agendas.
"The GMO Debate course, which ran in the fall of 2015, was a blatant display of unscientific propaganda in an academic setting" - Robert Schooler
Robert wrote an article about his experience back in 2016 which went viral at the time. You can read his article here:

Today I am honored to share more of his story with you as an example of just how deep corporate influence runs in the science world, and how hard it is even in academic settings, to have open and honest scientific dialogue and debate, whether as a student or even as a professor.
