Dear Cynthia and Bill,
Thank you very much for your support and comments on Caulerpa biocontrol. I'm very happy to hear that others labs are working on this subject, this mean that the idea was not stupid at all and I sincerely wish these labs much success because in France, our government refused for the second time in 3 years, to fund research on this biocontrol of the invasive Caulerpa even with the favourable recommendation of the scientific commission which has evaluated our project and even if more and more scientists ask to continue to study biocontrol (in any case these study were never funded by France). So actually research hre is very reduced.
Cynthia's comments on the media are important and highlight the fact that scientists have to communicate but to be very careful on what they are saying. Communication is essential.
Sincerely,
Thierry
