Dear Gerard, Thanks for your kind words. Please call me Santosh. I would be happy to write an article in a Goan newspaper on this subject. I have written OpEds in Herald before. Regarding the angry response by Prof. Girish Kumar to your email, let me just assure you that my reasoning is my own. It has been shaped by my understanding of basic physics, biology and medicine, by my reading of original research articles and review papers in the specific EMF and radiation biology/medicine fields, and my own thinking. I have no ties with the cell phone industry, nor have I been funded by cell phone companies. The least we can do as rational people is to not believe in massive world-wide conspiracy theories involving the governments, industrial establishments and the mainstream scientific community.
By the way, I mentioned to your son Ashley, when he wrote to me earlier, that it is very rare to find a teacher and educator like you among Goans who cares deeply about educating the public about science.

So far, as I see it, there is a great debate raging between only you and Prof. G.Kumar and hardly any body else is reading about it. >It would be greatly beneficial for the public at large if you could write an article for the newspapers which allays their fears about the 'dangerous' radiations. A few days ago, I was so happy to read in the newspapers that the Dept. of Telecommunications was intending to have a series of programs in the various towns precisely to do this. Coming from a person of your stature and standing, the article would carry a lot of weight and offset the negative influence which has been caused in the past by articles which appear now and then frightening the public unnecessarily about the low density radiations emitted from the mobile towers. >I can give you the email addresses of the editors of local newspapers if you are willing to do this. >G.Delaney > > > > >
