The Price of Truth: How Money Affects the Norms of Science

 
Modern science is big business. Governments, universities, and corporations have invested billions of dollars in scientific and technological research in the hope of obtaining power and profit. For the most part, this investment has benefited science and society, leading to new discoveries,inventions, disciplines, specialties, jobs, and career opportunities. However, there is a dark side to the influx of money into science.

How does the commercialization of research affect the public's perception of science? Can scientists prevent money from corrupting the research enterprise? What types of rules, polices, and guidelines should scientists adopt to prevent financial interests from adversely affectingresearch and the public's opinion of science?
