STONY BROOK, NY--(Marketwire - June 4, 2009) - Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB : APDN ), a
provider of DNA security solutions, announced today that it is now on
Twitter and has launched its "Reality Check" blog on its website ADNAS.com.
Through both venues, APDN will review trends, policies, news, products and
innovations and provide commentary on current anti-counterfeiting and
anti-diversion concerns, as well as the latest forensic and alternative
solutions to protect brands and industries from global fraud and illicit
crime.
"We're a dynamic and innovative company and we are increasing our presence
and reach to a larger, global audience," stated Debbie Bailey, Director of

with a way to connect with us. Our content will benefit consumers who are
concerned with the quality, integrity and authenticity of the products and
brands to which they subscribe. Manufacturers, brand owners and governments
will find the portal essential to foiling counterfeiters."
Brand security and protection is increasingly becoming part of the business

fight against counterfeiting and diversion. APDN's increased social media
strategy will assist companies in quickly finding and applying DNA
