The work of the Bioscience Resource Project concentrates on three key program areas. Through these programs, we produce high quality scientific research and analysis and we raise awareness of the importance of public interest science and independent science media as foundations of healthy food systems and a healthy world.
KEY PROGRAM AREAS:
Program 1. Independent Science Journalism: We produce Independent Science News, a source of high quality public interest science news and analysis for the biological sciences. Areas covered range from food and agriculture to human genetics and virology, with a focus on scientific analysis of the health and/or environmental implications of associated technologies and research agendas. Our articles provide full referencing so that readers can verify the data and analysis for themselves.
Program 2. Public Interest Science: We consult, research, and publish papers on diverse topics in the biological sciences including health, the environment, agriculture, genetics, genetic engineering, the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and biosafety. We provide access to key resources for scientists, educators, policy makers and the public via our open access papers in the scientific literature and also through Document Leaks which currently include the Sanjour Hazardous Waste Files and the Poison Papers website and DocumentCloud access to the Poison Papers. The Poison Papers was a joint project with the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD). The Poison Papers expose chemical toxicity and flawed risk assessment and collusion between regulators and the chemical industry.
Program 3. Outreach and Education: We inform scientists, regulators, and the public by publishing in the mainstream media, giving radio interviews and webinars, by hosting events, and by speaking at conferences, universities and public forums.
