How is corporate power shaping American science?

How is corporate power shaping American science? On the next Your Call, we'll replay a conversation with Naomi Oreskes, author of Merchants of Doubt. With corporate dollars driving research agendas, are scientists losing their trust among the broader public? How do you assess the independence of scientists? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Should the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico make us reconsider partnerships like that between BP and UC Berkeley? And how can truly independent science be funded? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar.

Guest:
Naomi Oreskes, professor of History and Science Studies at the University of California-San Diego and an author.
