Don Huber is Prof. Emeritus at Purdue University. He has studied - and been critical of - Roundup and later the associated Roundup ready crops for 45 years. His academic credentials protected him from retaliation - while many of his colleagues lost their positions or had to retract their papers. Huber honors some of them in this talk.
Don Huber raised the safety issue of glyphosate in 2011 with the US Secretary of agriculture and made headlines all over the world. However his warning was ignored by the Obama administration. And the Obama EPA even raised the allowable Daily Intake (ADI) for glyphosate for humans.
Don Huber was Cereal Pathologist at the University of Idaho for 8 years before joining the Department of Botany & Plant Pathology at Purdue University in 1971. His agricultural research in the past 55 years has focused on the epidemiology and control of soil-borne plant pathogens with emphasis on microbial ecology, cultural and biological controls, nutrient-disease interactions, and pesticide-disease interactions.
