Gilles-Éric Séralini

What strikes me about Séralini is his willingness to be unpopular. Born in Algeria, trained in France, he built a career around questions most scientists would rather not touch publicly, and he paid for it in controversy. I don't read his story as a verdict on who was right about GMOs; I read it as a study in scientific friction, the messy way knowledge actually advances when someone refuses to sit quietly. A man who holds the National Order of Merit yet keeps wading into argument has chosen conviction over comfort. I find that kind of stubborn, inconvenient sincerity oddly admirable, even when it courts dispute.
