Taxpayers, in the form of Congressman Dingle, pointed out that this kind of greed is intolerable to the public. Dr. Kennedy wisely resigned as President of Stanford. He has since replaced Dr. Koshland as Editor of Science . However, not all scientists think in this way. Although a leader in the scientific community, he was ignored.
Scientists never function in isolation.
They are members of scientific societies, university faculties, government bodies, companies, multi-national corporations. As such, their behavior is determined by the organizations of which they are part. The organizations themselves create risk, because much of the science they produce may better be called propaganda than knowledge. Scientists employed by public agencies cannot function as independent, honest scientists and feed their children. Exploding the gene myth.
