12/1: Percy Schmeiser to Speak at UC Berkeley

If you have the time and you haven't heard Percy speak, here's an opportunity. He rocked the Bioneers Conference a couple of years ago with his story about being sued by Monsanto for copyright infringement after their patented GMO canola genes from a neighboring farmer's field ended up in plants on his land. He's countersuing for destruction of 30 years of his own plant breeding.

You can read/hear his story at http://www.percyschmeiser.com/conflict.htm.
