Benbrook spent 18 years (1979-1997) working in Washington, DC, on agricultural policy and regulation.
During this time, he served for two years (1981-1983) as the director of the Subcommittee on Department Operations, Research, and Foreign Agriculture of the U.S. House of Representatives. He also directed the National Academy o f S c i e n c e s ’ B oa r d o n Ag r i c u l t u r e f ro m 1 9 8 4 to 1 9 9 0 . O n a 1 9 9 3 F ro n t
- l i n e p ro g r a m e n t i t l e d “ I n O u r C h i l d r e n ’ s Food,” which focused on a NAS report on pesticides of which Benbrook was the lead author, he warned that the regulatory limits on pesticides were based on adults, even though they are more dangerous to children. He also suggested that he had been fired from the NAS panel for criticizing the pesticide industry. 

Benbrook served as chief scientist at the Organic Center, an organic industry funded nonprofit organization, from 2004 until 2012.

Between 2012 and 2015, Benbrook was the research professor at Washington State University for the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources. Here
he conducted several studies funded entirely by the organic food industry, who also paid for his trips to Washington where he lobbied for requiring a label on genetically modified organisms.

Walter Farina is full professor at the school of exacts and natural sciences of the university of buenos aires, argentina. He is also superior investigator of the national council of scientific and technical research of argentina, being faculty of the institute of physiology, molecular biology and neurosciences in Buenos Aires, argentina heading the social insect lab. His expertise area is integrative biology.
His studies combine topics of behavioral physiology, neurobiology, animal communication, cognitive and chemical ecology, eco-toxicology and crop pollination using the honeybee as a model study. He also studied behavioural topics in stingless bees and bumblebees of south america. He published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles in indexed journals, participated as a lecturer in more than 70 opportunities. He has participated in four patents of the invention related to topics of precision pollination by bees in commercial crops and this technology is already used as agro-input by pollination services.
 

Fani Hatjina is a biologist with a PhD on Pollination. Ever since her childhood she has been very curious. This curiosity once caused a small problem with her eyes, when she disturbed a wasp’s nest and was attacked en masse! However, here she is today working with honey bees at the Department of Apiculture- Institute of Animal Science- Hellenic Agricultural Organization ‘DEMETER” (Greece), where she is also the Director of the Institute. Furthermore she is a Council member of International Bee Research Association (I.B.R.A) for almost 10 years now.
Since her employment on the Department of Apiculture she has been interested on promoting the wellbeing of the bees. Main research interests are: effects of pesticides on bee's behaviour and physiology, biological control of diseases and breeding/ preservation of local honey bee populations resistant to varroa.
In 2014 she started coordinating the activities of the APIMONDIA Working group on "Adverse effects of pesticides and veterinary medicines on bees", and currently she serves as President of the Bee Health Scientific Commission of APIMONDIA. She is promoting organic farming and organic beekeeping as well as the close collaboration between farmers and beekeepers. Furthermore she is working to advance apitourism in Greece and in the world!

Professor Dr. Peter Neumann is the Vinetum professor of the Institute of Bee Health. His research and teaching cover all aspects of bee health with focus on behavioural, evolutionary and molecular ecology of honey bees and their pathogens.

In 1987, Séralini obtained his doctoral degree from the University of Montpelier II. He then did four years of research at, among other places, the University of Western Ontario and Laval University Medical Center. Séralini underwent research on corticosteroid-binding globulin, before being appointed a professor at the University of Caen in June 1991, a position he has held ever since. The general area of his lab’s research focuses on the endocrine system, in particular the enzyme aromatase.
His lab has synthesized a number of aromatase inhibitors using equine aromatase as a model. [non-primary source needed] His research has been published in the Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology.
In 1997, he became interested in genetically modified organisms, publicly appealing for the precautionary principle to be followed. He was appointed to various government posts, including roles in the French government, the European Union and the European Commission. From 1998 till 2007 Séralini was a member of
the French Biomolecular Engineering Commission which was tasked with evaluating GMO allowances for both the French Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of the Environment.

He made A.S. at Warner Pacific College in Portland in 1977, B.A. in chemistry at Reed College, Portland, in 1979, Ph.D. in biochemistry at Washington State University in 1982, and post-doc at the University of Toronto until 1984. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Environmental Epigenetics published by Oxford University Press.

Educated in zoology and history at the University of Illinois, receiving a BA in zoology and a MA in Medieval Greek history. He earned a doctorate in European-Greek history at the University of Wisconsin. He did postdoctoral studies in the history of science at Harvard. He worked on Capitol Hill for 2 years and at the US
Environmental Protection Agency for 25 years. He is the author of hundreds of articles and 6 books, including “Poison Spring,” with Mckay Jenkings.
