Union of Concerned Scientists Report: Heads They Win, Tails We Lose

Heads They Win, Tails We Lose – How Corporations Corrupt Science at the Public’s Expense. The Scientific Integrity Program of the Union of Concerned Scientists, February 2012

  • “The first chapter of this report explores the numerous methods corporate interests employ to inappropriately influence how the federal government uses science to make decisions. The second chapter provides an overview of the steps the Obama administration has taken to restore scientific integrity to federal policy making. The third chapter focuses on the federal reforms still essential to ensure that authoritative and independent scientific information informs policies designed to protect public health and the environment. Recognizing that solving this problem extends far beyond what the government can accomplish alone, we also suggest broader reforms that corporations, the scientific community, academic institutions, news media, and the courts can pursue to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of science.”
