They are commonly paid to AGREE with something to lend a veneer of credibility to their patron. If money is on the table they will do and say just about anything to obtain it all the while singing their own paeans of virtuous integrity. <br /><br />My advice: Where large amounts of money, power, and politics are involved, Treat any scientist with healthy skepticism. They should be used to it professionally if they are any good, and be very prepared to answer direct questions. If they feel indignantly otherwise, ignore their alphabet credentials and walk away while keeping your hand on your wallet.<br /><br />In this day and age, there is nothing inherently pure or ethical about people who call themselves scientists any more than those who call themselves plumbers...much less so those who style themselves activist or 'communicator' scientists... they go where the money is, and the truth goes by the wayside quickly whenever funding or grant money is at odds with it. <br /><br />CFTnoreply@blogger.com
