He was a reporter on the Wilmington , Delaware , Journal-Every Evening , 1955–57 , and on the Washington Post , 1957-61 . In 1961 he was awarded a Congressional Fellowship by the American Political Science Association , after which he joined the News and Comment section of Science , journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , where he was the first news editor and also was European correspondent , based in London , 1968-70 . In 1971 Greenberg founded Science & Government Report , a newsletter which he edited and published until 1997 when it was acquired by John Wiley & Sons . Journalism career . At Science and at Science & Government Report Greenberg gained recognition for bringing a new style of reporting to the coverage of science , viewing it as among many claimants for government support , rather than as a politically detached enterprise : While at Science , Greenberg created the mythical character Dr . Grant Swinger , Director of the Center for the Absorption of Federal Funds . Q&As with Dr . Swinger and policy papers attributed to him continued to be published in Science & Government Report and other periodicals for which Greenberg wrote , and was later published in a collection titled The Grant Swinger Papers ( out of print , now in preparation for a new edition ) . Upon Greenbergs resignation from the Science News and Comment staff in 1970 , [ The Washington Post ] ] observed that Greenberg .. . more than any other man on Science has helped to build its circulation to an all-time high of 160,000 . In his nine years on the magazine , he wrote and directed numerous exclusives on the science beat ( The Washington Post , November 29 , 1970 , Scientists Split by Seaborg Candidacy ) . Books . Greenbergs The Politics of Pure Science published in 1968 evoked strong reactions , pro and con , in the popular and scientific press . In The New York Times Book Review , Robert K . Merton described the work as a book of consequence about science as one of the more consequential social institutions in the modern world . It is one that could be understood and should be read by the President , legislators , scientists and the rest of us ordinary folks . He described the author as an informed and reflective newsman of the first rank , capable of combining lively journalism with careful scholarship . Contrary reviews of The Politics of Pure Science were plentiful . Frank T . McClure , Director of the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University , wrote in Science that the book might best be described as a historical novel , written in the reportorial style , with titillating tidbits liberally dispersed among important facts [ ... ] The author , McClure added , uses the term machinations repeatedly to describe the successful advocacy of presumably worthy causes.. . The overall effect is to demean , and few men or institutions went into this book but came out poorer . Following its publication in the U.S. , The Politics of Pure Science was published in the UK in a Penguin edition in 1969 under the title The Politics of American Science , under the original title ; and in an edition published by the University of Chicago Press in 1999 , with introductions by John Maddox and Steven Shapin . Describing the book as a model of lucidity , Maddox stated that Greenbergs contributions to Science throughout the 1960s had an electrifying effect on rival publications , which followed Greenberg as best as they could . Shapin described The Politics of Pure Science as a document of unique importance [ that ] reminds us how consequential science journalism of this kind and quality can be . In 2001 , Greenberg published an indictment of the way that the United States government spent money on science in Science , Money , and Politics , which received broad notice . Greenbergs later books included : Science for Sale : The perils , rewards , and delusions of campus capitalism ( 2007 ) and a satirical novel , Tech Transfer : Science , money , love , and the ivory tower ( 2010 ) . Other publications . Throughout his science-writing career , Greenberg was a prolific contributor to popular and professional publications . From 1972 to 2003 , he wrote a syndicated column that appeared in The Washington Post and many other newspapers . He was also a frequent contributor to the British New Scientist , The Saturday Review , and MIT Technology Review . From 1974 to 1980 , he wrote a Washington column for the New England Journal of Medicine , and from 1993 to 2002 a column for the British journal The Lancet .
