Bill Marler is a class-action lawyer in Seattle who specializes in food safety cases. His Christmas letter this year gives his top ten picks for the food safety disasters of 2008. Number 1 is melamine-laced Chinese food products. He’s leaving #10 open just in case anything new happens between now and the end of the year. Thanks Bill. Enjoy your holiday dinners, everyone!
I am honored (hugely) to be the recipient of the 2023 Edinburgh Medal, at which I give a speech as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival. My talk, “Food Politics: Why it Matters Now” is at 7:00 p.m. Information about the Science Festival is here. A Tweet announcing my award is here.
