[mish]

Hello

Not sure if this should go on the UK page (please shout out if you have
a view on that), but definitely proposed for Cambridge, Bio-Tech and
Ecology.

Abstract:

Sunday July 1st. Anti-GM campaigners take their protest directly to the
test site in Girton near Cambridge. One protester is arrested scaling
the fence erected to protect the GM potato crop and another is arrested
later on for alleged criminal damage[1] (they will be in court on
Tuesday morning[2]).  The crop are GM potatoes developed by BASF, who
have already dropped their one other potato trial in the UK[3,4].
