Hi Daniel, Ha ha ha. How very sad, but true. Of course, even most politicians have come to learn that: When they arm-twist some job-hungry scientist into making (e.g.) climate-change-denial statements... The other 98% of relevant experts get in front of the media (via their independent professional bodies) and point out where The Emperor's Clothes really are. Net public relations setback. So now the pollies themselves just mumble vague denials and brush-offs, or pointless statements of support and concern. Not easy, when you're getting squeezed between the big donor$ you need and the voters you need. Carl On 23/04/14 11:20, Daniel Jitnah wrote:
True, there are scientists employed by firms to provide company-friendly data. But (except for job-desperate scientists working in short-lived fly-by-night firms)
These days working for a Fed Gov (scientific) agency under an Abbott Gov ... may just feel pretty much as you describe!
