“Arabidopsis Cryptochrome Is Responsive to RF EMFs,” Scientific Reports, July 9, 2021. RF “reduces conformational changes associated with biological activity” and “alters cryptochrome-dependent plant growth responses and gene expression.” This is the “first demonstration of a biological receptor responding to RF exposure.”

“Science, Politics, and Groupthink,” by James Lin, IEEE Microwave Magazine, May 2021.
Lin faults ICNIRP for preferring to “quibble” over the 2018 NTP and Ramazzini RF–animal studies rather than concluding that they point to a cancer risk. He writes: “The simultaneous penchant to dismiss and criticize positive results and the fondness for and eager acceptance of negative findings are palpable and concerning.”

Expert Report by Christopher J. Portier, March 1, 2021, filed with the Superior Court for the District of Columbia (Civil Division) on March 3, 2021 in the case of Murray (et al.) v. Motorola (et al.) (2001 CA 008479 B). “In my opinion, RF exposure probably causes gliomas and neuromas and, given the human and experimental evidence, I assert that, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, the probability that RF exposure causes gliomas and neuromas is high.”

“Associations Between Artificial Light at Night and Risk for Thyroid Cancer: A Large U.S. Cohort Study,” Cancer, February 8, 2021. “We found that higher [light at night] levels were associated with higher thyroid cancer incidence in middle-aged to older adults in the U.S.”

”Is There Evidence for Oxidative Stress Caused by EMFs?” by Meike Mevissen & David Schūrmann, BERENIS Newsletter, January 2021. A ”tendency becomes apparent...that EMF exposure, even in the low dose range, can lead to changes in oxidative balance." Those with diabetes & immune deficiencies may be at greater risk.”

“A CIA Officer Has a Headache. Media Blame Russia,” FAIR, December 16, 2020. A very different take on the GQ magazine article: “The Mystery of Immaculate Concussion.” Throws cold water on the hype over “some sort of hitherto unheard-of Kremlin microwave gun” and asks: “Why is there so little skepticism of fanciful official claims in corporate media?”
