Financial:
I often receive speaking fees and travel support for my lectures. I make clear to sponsors and to my audiences that I am an independent contractor and not an employee or agent of the host and that the host will not influence or otherwise direct my comments or positions on the subject matter presented. My speaking schedule is listed here.
I co-authored the book Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics and the Future of Food with my husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer, published by Oxford University Press.
Grants/Research Support:
- Current Funding: The Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health.
Other:
- I am a Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and the Genome Center at UC Davis and Director of the UC Davis Interdisciplinary Forum for Advocating Science Learning.
- I also serve as a key scientist at the Joint Bioenergy Institute funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, an Investigator at the Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley, a Faculty Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley lab and a Partner Investigator Centre of Excellence for Advanced Peptide and Protein Engineering (CAPE), Australian Research Council
- I therefore have a potential conflict of interest on issues involving UC Davis, the University of California, educational funding in California, and public higher education policy at the national and state level. As a working scientist who has received grants from a variety of government funding agencies, I have a professional interest in promoting science funding and in influencing the way research funds are distributed.
- I serve on the Prize Council of the VinFuture Foundation, which was set up with an initial endowment of VND 2,000 billion (approximately US$100 million) from Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng, the founder and Chairman of Vingroup JSC, a technology, industry, and services company in Vietnam, and his wife Madam Phạm Thu Hương.
