Death threats, libel, and lies - part 2: Documented liar?


In the second part of this series, Jonathan Matthews examines Kevin Folta's claims to have done "nothing wrong, said nothing false" After a recent New York Times article took Kevin Folta's cozy relationship with the biotech industry mainstream, his would-be apologists sprang into action.

But intentionally or otherwise, Johnson's headline misses the heart of the controversy.
