August 25, 2009

“Today, more that ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security and prosperity as a nation. It’s time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and work to restore America’s place as the world leader in science and technology. It’sabout listening to what our scientists have to say, even when it’s inconvenient especially when it’s inconvenient.”

—President Barack Obama

The Precautionary Principle
“The precautionary principle applies where scientific evidence is insufficient, inconclusive or uncertain and preliminary scientific evaluation indicates that there are reasonable grounds for concern that the potentiallydangerous effects on the environment, human, animal or plant health may be inconsistent with the high level of protection chosen.”

Cellphone and Brain Tumors - 15 Reasons for Concern

EndorsementsWe the undersigned believe it is essential that governments and the media understand the independent science regarding cellphone use and brain tumors, as well as the design flaws of the 13 country Interphone study. The widespread nature of wireless telecommunication systems requires that society understand any potential risks, and that this understanding be as current as possible with the latestevidence-based science. We endorse both the message and urgency of this report.
