Chensheng (Alex) Lu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Environmental Exposure Biology, Harvard School of Public Health.
Dr. Lu's study of the massive loss of honeybees over the last decade (Colony Collapse Disorder) established a clear link between CCD and a neonicotinoid insecticide found in the fructose that is fed to honeybees. He has worked to make the public aware of the dangers of this group of insecticides, which are used in GMOs, agriculture. gardens/lawns, and for general insect control. In this video he also discusses the difficulties scientists encounter when they attempt to do the necessary research on this subject.
