Thomas Deichmann is associated with the libertarian and anti-environmental LM network. He is the editor of the German on line magazine Novo Argumente and has contributed to the London International Research Exchange, Institute of Ideas events and Spiked.
He has also co-authored a book on biotechnology with Thilo Spahl, Das Populare Lexikon der Gentechnik: "berraschende Fakten von Allergie" ber Killerkartoffel bis Zelltherapie (The Popular Lexicon of Genetic Engineering: Surprising Facts from Allergy and Killer Potatoes to Cell Therapy), which has been published by Novo.
In April 2003 he was one of the speakers at a Genes and Society 'festival' in London organised by the the Institute of Ideas, where he was involved in debate on GM crops and the Third World.
Deichmann has also contributed articles to Novo and Spiked on Percy Schmeiser, the Canadian farmer who has been in a long-running legal battle with Monsanto over patent issues and GM crops. In his Spiked piece Deichamnn chides the German media over what he claims is the inaccuracy of their reporting: 'there is a striking difference between the issues raised by the case and the way Schmeiser has been represented in sections of the German media - which indicates that, in the GM debate in Europe, scaremongering often has more purchase than science.'
