вЂњItвЂ™ll solve world hunger itвЂ™ll be able to solve climate change issues, all kinds of things. When it came to one of the major focuses of his work вЂ“ genetic engineering вЂ“ Sheldon Krimsky never bought into the hype: вЂњThe proponents of GMOs think itвЂ™s a golden goose,вЂќ he once said. He was also an adjunct professor in the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine, and a visiting scholar at Columbia, Brooklyn College, the New School, and New York University. On their website, Tufts University, where Krimsky was the Lenore Stern Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences in the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, describe him as вЂњa truly adored professorвЂќ.ДЄ Tufts obituary notes that he had вЂњtaught at the university for more than 47 years, focusing on the links between science, technology, ethics, and public policyвЂќ. Shelly was a scholar who chronicled corruption in, and misuse of, science, and an activist of the highest integrity in opposition to these practices.вЂќ

Stuart Newman, a founding member of the Council for Responsible Genetics that Krimsky headed and a professor of cell biology and anatomy at New York Medical College, tweeted, вЂњI am very sorry to report the death of my friend and colleague Sheldon Krimsky. We were sad to hear that on 23 April Sheldon Krimsky, who for over more than 40 years made major contributions to the debate on genetic engineering, passed away in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the age of 80.
