An Evolution: The History of the Milton Park Life Sciences Cluster (2014)Jon Rees
"An Evolution" tells the story of the evolution of the life sciences cluster at Milton Park, which houses the highest concentration of life sciences companies in the UK. The story is told through case studies with the ten highest growth life sciences companies based there, and recounts the founders experience back in 1979 as they boldly invested in the first buildings. Includes a foreword in Lord Heseltine, who opened the first Business Development offices in 1993. A beautiful and unique publication highlighting a growth science park counting at least fifty life sciences companies as its tenants, among them important biotech, pharma, diagnostics and medical technology R&D companies. Concept and Delivery by OBN.
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from the life sciences innovation system and applied to energy innovation based on differences in the two sectors' experiences with federal funding and priorities. It outlines six key lessons: 1) innovation requires slow and steady funding over decades; 2) a bottom-up research agenda directed funding better than top-down priorities; 3) intense competition drove innovation; 4) transparency and openness advanced cumulative progress; 5) rewarding innovators supported progress; and 6) diversity, adaptation, and organizational experimentation strengthened the system. Overall, the life sciences experience highlights the importance of sustained, diverse public investments to address complex challenges like climate change through incremental technological advances.
This document discusses the commercialization of university research in Canada. It outlines how over the past two decades, there has been increasing pressure from the private sector to align university research more closely with business needs through commercialization. This represents a shift away from universities' traditional role of independent inquiry. The document summarizes key federal initiatives and policies that have incentivized universities to produce commercially viable research and form partnerships with industry. However, critics argue this prioritization of commercial outcomes could undermine universities' independence and focus on broader social objectives.

In 2012/13, 20 years after LSE Enterprise took on its first two projects, we connected governments, charities and private sector companies with 388 academics and experts, from almost 50 of LSE’s departments, research centres, groups and units as well as beyond the School.
The document discusses the issue of open access to academic publications and research findings funded by public money in Germany. It notes that while universities and research institutions aim to make new research widely available, recent legal and economic developments have made this increasingly difficult. Specifically, publishers have gained unlimited rights to transfer exclusive publishing rights, and subscription costs have risen dramatically while university budgets have stagnated. The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in Germany has proposed amendments to copyright law to establish a legal framework enabling publicly funded research findings to be made openly accessible after an embargo period of 6 months. This aims to shift norms around academic publishing and strengthen open access in Germany.

Specifically, publishers have gained unlimited rights to transfer exclusive publishing rights, and subscription costs have risen dramatically while university budgets have stagnated. The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in Germany has proposed amendments to copyright law to establish a legal framework enabling publicly funded research findings to be made reliably available through open access after an embargo period of six months. This aims to shift norms around academic publishing and strengthen the position of researchers against publishers.

This thesis examines patent trends in applied physics industries using economic models and patent citation data. It proposes an alternative, more dynamic patent policy. The thesis begins with an introduction discussing the importance but also challenges of the patent system. It then reviews the background of patent policy and commercialization of university research. The methods section outlines the use of an economic model and patent citation network analysis. The economic model predicts the response of emerging and developed countries/industries to changes in patent policy. Through case studies and empirical evidence from citation data, the thesis aims to show that a "one-size-fits-all" patent policy is insufficient, and that patent protection should vary depending on factors like industry size and growth patterns.
This document summarizes an event about working in Europe and beyond. It includes:
- An agenda for the event with presentations on recruiting in Europe and investing in the UK life sciences sector.
- A discussion on how UK Trade & Investment can help businesses invest and grow in the UK, focusing on the life sciences industry.
- Comments from various speakers on topics like sourcing talent, challenges in recruiting, and ensuring international contractor compliance.

ISSA The Global Voice of Information Security
Extending the McCumber Cube
to Model Network Defense
By Sean M. Price – ISSA member Northern Virginia, USA chapter
This article proposes an extension to the McCumber
Cube information security model to determine the best
countermeasures to achieve a desired security goal.
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are the se-curity services of a system. In other words they are the security goals of system defense, intangible at-
tributes� providing assurances for the information protected.
Each service is realized when the appropriate countermea-
sures for a given information state are in place. But, it is not
enough to select countermeasures ad hoc. Countermeasures
should be selected to defend a system and its information
against specific types of attacks. When attacks against partic-
ular information states are considered, the necessary coun-
termeasures can be selected to achieve the desired security
service or goal. This article proposes an extension to the Mc-
Cumber Cube information security model as a way for the
security practitioner to consider the best countermeasures to
achieve the desired security goal.
Security models
Models are useful tools to help understand complex topics. A
well-developed model can often be represented graphically,
allowing a deeper understanding of the relationships of the
components that make the whole. A formal security model
is broadly applicable and rigorously developed using formal
methods.2 In contrast, an informal model is considered lack-
ing one or both of these qualities. There are a variety of in-
formal models in the information security world which are
regularly used by security practitioners to understand basic
information and concepts.
� Security goals often lack explicit definitions and are difficult to quantify. They are
usually based on policies with broad interpretations and tend to be qualitative. It is
true that security goals emerge from the confluence of information states and coun-
termeasures which have measurable attributes. But, the subjective nature of security
goals combined with informal modeling characterizes their attributes as intangible.
2 P. T. Devanbu and S. Stubblebine, “Software Engineering for Security: A Roadmap,”
Proceedings of the Conference on The Future of Software Engineering (2000), 227-239.
One such informal model is the generally accepted risk as-
sessment framework. This model is used to assess risk by
estimating asset values, vulnerabilities, threats with their
likelihood of exploiting a vulnerability, and losses. Figure �
illustrates this model. Note that this commonly used model
requires a substantial amount of estimating on the part of
the risk assessment participants. This is problematic when
reliable estimates cannot be obtained. Another problem with
this model is that it does not guide th.

Session 6a
“Processing Threats”
Agenda
• When to find threats
• Playing chess
• How to approach software
• Tracking threats and assumptions
• Customer/vendor
• The API threat model
• Reading: Chapter 7
When to Find Threats
• Start at the beginning of your project
– Create a model of what you’re building
– Do a first pass for threats
• Dig deep as you work through features
– Think about how threats apply to your mitigations
• Check your design & model matches as you
get close to shipping
Attackers Respond to Your Defenses
Playing Chess
• The ideal attacker will follow the road you
defend
– Ideal attackers are like spherical cows — they’re a
useful model for some things
• Real attackers will go around your defenses
• Your defenses need to be broad and deep
“Orders of Mitigation”
Order Threat Mitigation
1st Window smashing Reinforced glass
2nd Window smashing Alarm
3rd Cut alarm wire Heartbeat signal
4th Fake heartbeat Cryptographic signal integrity
By Example:
• Thus window smashing is a first order threat, cutting
alarm wire, a third-order threat
• Easy to get stuck arguing about orders
• Are both stronger glass & alarms 1st order
mitigations? (Who cares?!)
• Focus on the concept of interplay between
mitigations & further attacks
How to Approach Software
• Depth first
– The most fun and “instinctual”
– Keep following threats to see where they go
– Can be useful skill development, promoting “flow”
• Breadth first
– The most conservative use of time
• Best when time is limited
– Most likely to result in good coverage
Tracking Threats and Assumptions
• There are an infinite number of ways to
structure this
• Use the one that works reliably for you
• (Hope doesn’t work reliably)

• Impact is sometimes so obvious it’s not worth filling out
• Who to talk to is not always obvious, it’s ok to start out blank
• Tracking assumptions in bugs helps you not lose track
• Treat the assumption as a bug – you need to resolve it

Is Texas so conservative- (at least for the time being)- as many pun.docxbagotjesusa
Is Texas so conservative- (at least for the time being)- as many pundits and observers claim? Or is that just an opinion not supported by analysis and facts? Not only does Texas vote Republican in many elections but has done so for many years. It is also the birthplace of the so-called Tea Party movement and of Ron Paul's campaigns for president. Texas also appears to espouse conservative approaches to government and to issues. You will need to define in a concrete and operational way what conservative means as conservative is more than voting behavior or party affiliation.
Texas is the 2nd largest state in population compared to California and.like California made up of many differing migrant and immigrant groups. Texas like California was also part of Northern Mexico. but Texas is very, very different from California in voting behavior and positions on social issues. Why? Texas and California are good comparisons or are they? Provide explanations of the differences and similarities in this ideological context
Texas was once "Democratic" but even that was not really the case in terms of either past or current Democratic ideals and goals but a historic reaction to the consequences of the civil war and the fact that Texas was on the losing side in that war and of the attempt to defend agrarian interests in the form of slavery.. Being Democratic from post civil war to the middle of the 20th century in part meant for decades being in favor of inequality for minorities and defenders in spirit, if not in fact, of slavery.net
So Texas was never "Democratic" and never a more liberal interpretation of reality but a reflection of conservative thought and a particular view of individualistic man.
Is Texas conservative and why? ( you will need a social, cultural, historical and economic analysis here
with supporting evidence)?
? Need much more than opinions here.

THE FIGHT TO FILL VACANT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SPACE IN RECENT YEARS
HAS FORCED REAL ESTATE OWNERS AND MANAGERS TO CONSIDER NEW USES
FOR THEIR PROPERTIES—EVEN IF THEY REQUIRE TAKING ADDITIONAL RISKS.
especially vacancies,” said Janice
Ochenkowski, managing director
for Jones Lang LaSalle and the com-
mercial real estate firm’s director of
global risk management in Chicago.
“But property owners and manag-
ers have been very creative in how
to use their existing facilities.”
Traditional retail stores have been
transformed into everything from
medical office space and churches
to fitness centers and breweries. In
addition, special events and pop-
up stores are more commonplace;
traditional office spaces have been
converted to daycare centers; in-
dustrial warehouses are being used
as practice facilities for youth base-
ball teams; and the list goes on.
“From a risk management per-
spective, these new uses can bring
new challenges,” Ochenkowski said.
“However, it is the primary goal
of the risk manager to support the
business, which means we need to
be more creative in the way we deal
with these risks.”

The risks associated with new-use tenants are as varied as the tenants them-
selves.
First and foremost, certain tenants could present additional life safety
risks, said Jeffrey Shearman, a Pittsburgh-based senior risk engineering con-
sultant and real estate industry practice leader for commercial insurance
provider, Zurich.
For example, restaurant tenants create increased exposure to fire; church
and/or educational institutions might spur egress concerns because they en-
courage large gatherings in spaces formerly used for different occupancy;
and hazardous waste can be a risk with some medical tenants.
“You have to recognize that certain types of work are going to create cer-
tain types of hazards,” Shearman said.
Beyond life safety risks, certain tenants might be more susceptible than
previous tenants to codes and regulations imposed by state or federal laws,
such as licensing regulations for daycares or American Disabilities Act re-
quirements for medical tenants, said Pat Pollan, CPM, principal at Pollan
Hausman Real Estate Services in Houston.
New-use tenant risks don’t stop there: financial risks also exist. Replac-
ing a unique tenant with a similar occupant after the lease expires can be
difficult—a particular concern if a lot of money was spent customizing the
space for an alternative use.
“It’s not just the risk of liability, it’s the risk of the tenant going out of busi-
ness and losing any money you put into the tenant, or its space, .

Classmate 1
The Rise of the Republican Party
The Republican Party was formed due to a split in the Whig Party. The anti-slavery
“Conscience Whigs” split from the pro-slavery “Cotton Whigs”. Some anti-slavery Whigs joined
the American “Know-Nothing” Party, while the remainder joined with independent Democrats
and Free-Soilers to form a new party, the Republicans. The initial members stood for one
principle: the exclusion of slavery from the western territories (Shi, p. 462). Knowing the
Republicans ideology, we will look at how the events leading up to the Kansas-Nebraska Act led
to greater political division that eventually caused the formation of the Republican Party and it’s
rise to the presidency in 1860.
In the 1850’s, America was becoming increasingly divided between those for and against
slavery. The Compromise of 1850 had temporarily appeased both sides by admitting California
as a free state, allowing no slavery restrictions in New Mexico and Utah, paying Texas,
abolishing slave trade but no slavery in the District of Columbia, establishing the Fugitive Slave
Act, and denying congress authority to interfere with interstate slave trade (Shi, p. 457). This
Fugitive Slave Act was highly contested, although very few slaves were returned to the south
under this Act. In fact, it ended up uniting anti-slavery people, more than aiding the South. It was
during this time that Uncle Tom’s Cabin was written, selling more than a million copies
worldwide and detailing the harsh brutality of slavery (Shi, p. 460-461).
In the mid-1850’s, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. The main reason for it was to the
settle the vast territory west of Missouri and Iowa, and to create a transcontinental railroad to
capitalize on Asian markets and goods. New territories brought up questions of whether slavery
would be allowed, with many supporting “popular sovereignty” where voters chose whether they
would have slavery or not. The issue here was that the 1820 Missouri Compromise had said there
would be no new slaver.

Investigative Statement AnalysisInitial statement given by Ted K.docxbagotjesusa
Investigative Statement Analysis
Initial statement given by Ted Kennedy in reference to the accident that occurred on July 18, 1969 in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts.
Date:
October 30, 2007
Analyst Comments:
Narrative Balance: The Prologue begins with sentence #1 and ends with sentence #3. The Central Issue begins with sentence #4 and ends with sentence #9. The Epilogue begins with sentence #10 and ends with sentence #14. Thus the breakdown is:
Prologue = 3 sentences
Central Issue = 6 sentences
Epilogue = 5 sentences
The narrative is somewhat unbalanced due to the short Prologue and thus can be considered to be possibly deceptive on its face. It is not unbalanced enough to say this conclusively.
Mean Length of Unit:
The narrative has 14 sentences and 237 words, thus giving a MLU of 16.9 rounded to 17. Thus any sentences 23 words or longer and any sentences 11 words or less can be considered deceptive on their face.
Structure of Analysis:
The actual sentences from the narrative are in bold italicized type. After each sentence are the number of words in the sentence, whether or not it is deceptive on its face, and the analyst’s comments. All of these will be in normal type.
1.
On July 18th, 1969, at approximately 11:15 P.M. in Chappaquiddick, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown.
30 words – Deceptive on its face. There is no mention of the passenger in this sentence. All of the pronouns are singular. It is “my car” “on my way”, etc. When the passenger is mentioned later, it is almost an afterthought. The deception in this sentence may be the last part of the sentence where he relates why he was driving the car. He very well may have been driving for some reason other than to get the ferry. This would be an area to be further explored in an interview.
2.
I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street.
20 words. “I was unfamiliar with the road” is an explanatory phrase telling us why he ended up on Dike Road. The phrase “instead of bearing hard left on Main Street” is a strange way of phrasing. Most people would say something like “instead of staying on Main Street.”
3.
After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge.
20 words. There is nothing particularly deceptive about this sentence. The phrasing of the sentence is very formal. The phrasing is almost like a police type report or a legal/lawyer way of phrasing. It also appears that the phrase “came upon a narrow bridge” is almost a passive way of phrasing that indicates he was taken by surprise and had no control over what he was doing.
4.
The car went off the side of the bridge.
9 words – This sentence is deceptive on its face. This is the very first sentence of the Central Issue. It is interesting to note that four of the six s.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003 49
Keywords: knowledge economy, corporate funding of academic
research, commercial
confidentiality, Foresight Panels, scientific freedom
ABSTRACT: The belief that science is “a driver of growth in
the knowledge
economy” has led in recent decades to increasing
encouragement by government of the
involvement of industry and of commerce in the sponsorship
and direction of research
in universities, and to the increasing influence of industrial
representatives on advisory
panels associated with the publicly funded scientific research
councils. By extending
the doctrine of commercial confidentiality into university
laboratories, inconvenient
findings have been suppressed, and both free endeavour and free
speech undermined.
This has narrowed our scientific horizons and compromised
government advisors.
It is argued that scientific freedom is a guarantor of our wider
liberties. Science,
which tells us who we are and how we can live better, is being
distorted so twisting our
understanding of the ways in which we might progress, shutting
off alternatives to
existing models of development. Business now stands as a guard

quests which might lead to major scientific breakthroughs. In
the long-term, this
constriction could damage not only scientific success, but also
economic
competitiveness.
But for the past ten years, government science policy has
steadily de-prioritised
basic research and prioritised commercial imperatives. Many of
the profound changes
in the way science in Britain is funded were introduced by the
Conservative
Government’s 1993 White Paper on science, called Realizing
Our Potential.2 Its
purpose was “to produce a better match between publicly-
funded strategic research and
the needs of industry.”2 The research councils, which distribute
most of the money for
science, would be obliged to develop “more extensive and
deeper links … with
industry”.2 In 1994, the Government established its “Foresight
Panels”, teams of
business people and academics who would “identify …
emerging opportunities in
4. markets”3 and advise ministers and guide the allocation of
government money. In
1995, the Office of Science and Technology was moved from
the Government’s
Cabinet Office to the Department of Trade and Industry. “What
the change means,” the
science minister explained, “is that we in Government recognise
the vital need to bring
industry and academe closer together.”4
These reforms were extended by the Labour administration. Its
1998 White Paper
on competitiveness launched a “reach-out fund”, to encourage
universities to “work
more effectively with business”.5 In the same year the
Government resuscitated the
dormant Council for Science and Technology, its most
important source of scientific
advice. Appointed by the Prime Minister, this council contains
seven university
academics and six industrialists. The role of the higher
education funding councils,
which provide the core money for the universities, was
redefined “to ensure that higher
education is responsive to the needs of business and industry.”6
The July 2000 white paper on science and innovation policy
took this a step
further, announcing a “Higher Education Reach Out to Business
and the Community
fund” whose purpose is “to increase universities’ capabilities to
work with industry”,1 a
doubling of the number of new Faraday Partnerships, “to link
the science base to
business networks”1 and a further £15 million for Science
Enterprise Centres, “to bring
5. business skills into the science curriculum.”1 The government,
it revealed, would
“support 20 Business Fellows who will lead their academic
colleagues in working with
business.”1
All this has a profound effect on both academic freedom and
scientific integrity. In
December 1998, the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and
Principals announced that the
universities they ran would no longer take money for cancer
research from the tobacco
industry. The companies’ backing, they had decided, “is not
likely to be viewed as
disinterested and will consequently damage the university’s
standing and reputation.”7
It seems astonishing that they had been taking this money in the
first place. But while
this, the most controversial source of industrial funding, was
discontinued, the business
sponsorship of other areas of research has expanded. Why
funding from other
corporate sectors should “be viewed as disinterested” and not
likely to “damage the
university’s standing and reputation” has never been
satisfactorily explained by the
vice-chancellors. But I have been unable to find a university
anywhere in the United
Guard Dogs of Perception: The Corporate Takeover of Science
Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003 51
6. Kingdom which does not accept corporate money for research in
which the companies
involved have an immediate interest.
The University of Cambridge, for example, possesses a Shell
Chair in chemical
engineering, BP professorships in organic chemistry and
petroleum science, an ICI
chair in applied thermodynamics, a Glaxo chair of molecular
parisitology, a Unilever
chair of molecular science, a Price Waterhouse chair of
financial accounting, a Marks
and Spencer chair of farm animal health and food science and a
GKN Professor of
Manufacturing Engineering. It accepted a £1.6 million
endowment from BAT
Industries to establish the “Sir Patrick Sheehy Chair of
International Relations”. (Sir
Patrick Sheehy was British American Tobacco’s chairman).
Rolls-Royce, AT&T,
Microsoft and Zeneca have all set up laboratories in the
university.
In June 1999, BP gave the university £25 million, to fund work
across five
departments. In November 1999, Cambridge set up an £84
million joint venture,
funded largely by the British government, partly by industry,
with the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Its purpose is to “change the face of
business and wealth
creation in the UK”,8 by stimulating “research spin-offs” and
“training the business
leaders of the future”.9 Cambridge’s vice-chancellor explained,
“We may once have
been thought of as an ivory tower—today we are a tower of hi-
7. technology and business
prowess.”8
The independent researchers Greg Muttitt and Chris Grimshaw
have examined the
influence of oil companies on British science.10 They identified
nearly 1000 research
projects being conducted for oil and gas firms. Some university
faculties, they
discovered, had become largely dependent upon industrial
money. Aberdeen’s Geology
Department for example, boasts that “Industrial contracts and
sponsorship now account
for more than two thirds of our research income, support over
one third of our lecturing
staff, fund nearly all our postgraduates, and even provide
appropriate components of
our undergraduate training.”11 There are BP professorships,
fellowships or lectureships
at seven British universities, including both Oxford and
Cambridge. A director of BP
sits on the Council for Science and Technology. Until 1998, the
Director General of the
UK’s Research Councils was Sir John Cadogan, formerly BP’s
research director. The
chairman and chief executive of Esso UK sits on the Higher
Education Funding
Council for England.
One result of such corporate involvement, Muttitt and
Grimshaw found, was a
significant distortion of the research agenda. Five times as
much money is spent in
British universities on research into oil and gas than on research
into renewable sources
of energy. This establishes an inverse relationship between
8. research needs and research
funds.10 Renewable energy, which is an emerging industry,
requires a great deal of
research as it approaches its take-off phase. Oil and gas
extraction, a mature industry,
could be expected to need far less.
David Whyte of Liverpool John Moores University recorded a
conversation with a
health and safety researcher at a university department partly
funded by oil companies.
The researcher had discovered that one of the companies had
been falsifying its own
accident figures. “When I ask these guys [the senior managers
of oil companies] about
why the accident rates are changed for their own records,” the
researcher revealed,
G. Monbiot
52 Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003
“they tell me to shut up. Of course I do. Because you can’t
challenge what they say if
you want to keep credibility.”12
Some government funding bodies appear to share this belief.
After exposing the
way in which university departments funded by the oil industry
have adapted their
work to suit the needs of their patrons, David Whyte was called
into the office of a
senior manager at the Health and Safety Executive, a
government body which funds
9. university research into safety on the oil rigs. He accused Dr.
Whyte of
“misrepresenting the truth” and lectured him on the importance
of the North Sea oil
industry to the British economy. “We have a large pool of
research funds,” he revealed.
“Six million pounds is a lot of money, you know. … It would be
very difficult to win
this money for Merseyside.” “Obviously,” he warned, “you
would have to be very
careful about the way you put things.”12
Money buys influence throughout the scientific community. In
1998, a team of
Canadian researchers studied a series of contributions to
academic journals on the
subject of a class of drugs called “calcium channel blockers”.13
The drugs, which are
used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, are
controversial: some doctors
believe that at least one of them is dangerous, increasing the
risk of heart attacks. The
researchers examined 70 articles in medical journals by
scientists studying these drugs.
They found that 96 percent of those who supported their use had
financial relationships
with the manufacturers, as opposed to just 37 percent of those
who criticised them.
Disturbingly, only two of the authors of these papers divulged
their connections.13
A survey conducted by the Institute of Professionals, Managers
and Specialists in
2000 found that 30 percent of the scientists working for
Government agencies or newly
privatised laboratories reported that they have been asked to
10. adjust their conclusions to
suit the sponsors of their research.14 Seventeen percent said
they had been asked to
change their conclusions to suit the customer’s preferred
outcome. Ten percent said
they had been asked to do so to obtain further contracts. Three
percent had been asked
to change their conclusions in order to “discourage publication
of their results”.14
It’s not hard to see how such distortions affect the public as
well as the integrity of
science. One of the most disgraceful recent examples was the
British Dental
Association’s endorsement of a drink called Ribena Tooth Kind,
produced by
SmithKline Beecham. The manufacturer used the BDA’s
accreditation to claim in its
£10 million advertising campaign that Ribena Tooth Kind “does
not encourage tooth
decay” and is “scientifically proven not to promote tooth
erosion.”15 Hundreds of
thousands of parents bought it for that reason.
In the High Court in January, a judicial review found that these
claims were not
justified by expert evidence. Independent tests at the University
of Zurich should that
Ribena Tooth Kind has “cariogenic potential”.16 Tests at the
University of Glasgow
showed that the erosion caused by the drink as “virtually
identical” to that of ordinary
Ribena.15
So why on earth had the British Dental Association endorsed it?
Well it might have
11. something to do with the fact that two of the four members of
its food and drink
accreditation panel had been paid by SmithKline Beecham to
conduct research on
Ribena Tooth Kind.15
Guard Dogs of Perception: The Corporate Takeover of Science
Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003 53
But while the acceptance of corporate money might encourage
researchers to
change the way they view the world, the acceptance of public
money is now scarcely
less hazardous.
The main source of public funds for the biologists working in
Britain’s universities
is the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council,
or BBSRC. When I
conducted a survey of its membership eighteen months ago, its
chairman was Peter
Doyle, who was also an executive director of the biotechnology
company Zeneca.
Among the members of its council were the chief executive of a
pharmaceutical firm; a
former director of the controversial food company Nestlé; the
President of the Food
and Drink Federation; a consultant to the biochemical industry
and the general manager
of Britain’s biggest farming business. The BBSRC’s strategy
board contained
executives from SmithKline Beecham, Merck Sharpe and
Dohme and AgrEvo UK, the
12. company hoping to be the first to commercialise genetically
engineered crops in
Britain. The research council had seven specialist committees,
overseeing the dispersal
of money to different branches of biology. Employees of
Zeneca, according to the
council’s website, sat on all of them.17
The BBSRC’s purpose, according to its mission statement, “is
to sustain a broad
base of interdisciplinary research and training to help industry,
commerce and
Government create wealth and improve the quality of life.”17
Public statements by the
research council’s chief executive, Professor Ray Baker,
suggest that he is taking this
mandate seriously. The council’s press releases fall into three
categories: news about
the research grants it allocates; news about the findings
resulting from those grants; and
fierce attacks on the critics of genetic engineering.
When, for example, Friends of the Earth and the BBC’s
Newsnight programme
released the results of research showing that pollen from
genetically modified rape was
being carried four and half kilometres by bees, Ray Baker used
a BBSRC press release
to claim that the finding was “a distraction from the key
issues”.18 When the trustees of
a farm carrying out a field trial of GM rape decided to stop the
experiment, Professor
Baker issued a statement insisting that there was “no risk of
cross-pollination” with
“organic oilseed rape, as it is not grown in the UK”.19
Unfortunately he forgot to add
13. that there was a near certainty that the GM rape would cross-
pollinate with non-
organic, unmodified, rape plants, as well as a clear possibility
that it would exchange
genetic material with its wild relatives. Professor Baker, in
other words, has been using
a government research body as a platform for contentious and in
some cases
misleading political statements, which appear to favour the
interests of the
biotechnology companies. It is worth noting that one of the
tasks of the chief executive
of the BBSRC is to provide impartial scientific advice to the
Government.
Unlike Professor Baker, the scientists working in university
departments receiving
BBSRC grants are formally gagged to prevent them becoming
“involved in political
controversy in matters affecting research in biotechnology and
biological sciences.”20
In practice the gagging order is used only against scientists who
rock the corporate
boat. This became clear when Dr. Arpad Puzstai, a geneticist
working at an institute
funded by the research council, challenged the safety of
genetically engineered foods.
His claims may not have been supportable, but nor were some of
those made by the
G. Monbiot
54 Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003
14. scientists from BBSRC-funded laboratories who spoke out
against him. Unlike Dr.
Puzstai, none of them was suspended for speaking to the media.
“Political controversy”
appears to mean positions with which the BBSRC council
members disagree.
Far more disturbing than the infiltration of the research
councils, however, are the
priorities of the Office of Science and Technology’s 16
Foresight Panels.
The Foresight Panels scarcely pretend to promote either
academic objectivity or the
wider public interest. Though they are official sources of
scientific advice to both
central Government and to the research councils, they are
largely controlled not by
scientists but by business people.
The Food and Drink Foresight Panel, for example, is composed
of eight
representatives of food companies and trade bodies, and three
members of university
departments, as well as members of the BBSRC and the Medical
Research Council,
which are expected to respond to its demands. It has several
sub-committees, whose
purpose is to identify “research priorities”. One is called the
Alcoholic Drinks panel.
The report it produced was drawn up in consultation with five
trade associations, three
industry-sponsored research institutes, fifteen drinks companies
and no one else. Its
report called for “a sophisticated understanding of individuals’
15. eating and drinking
behaviour” to assist “product development”.21 It called for
research which would help
drinks companies to resist “unnecessary barriers to innovation
and burdens on the
industry” caused by regulation.21
The report of the Fruit and Vegetables sub-committee suggested
that “Irradiation
may be re-examined for extending shelf life.”22 The Meat sub-
committee complained
bitterly that “criticisms of meat production from an animal
welfare and environmental
impact perspective, and of high levels of red meat consumption
as potentially
damaging to human health, gained credence from some
scientific work”.23
Until the day before he became minister for science and
technology, another sub-
committee, called “The Food Chain Group”, was chaired by
Lord Sainsbury. His
report, published by the Government’s Department of Trade and
Industry, hoped that
in the future “the expensive precautionary principle is
abandoned”.24 Lord Sainsbury
attended a “Food Chain Group Summit” in March 1998, which
concluded that this
Government-funded research programme should involve
“Influencing and anticipating
future behaviour of consumers.”25 Interestingly, the summit
went on to lament the
“falling consumer confidence in science”.25 It wouldn’t have
had to look far to see why
this might be happening.
16. The Food and Drink Foresight Panel’s recommendations are
already bearing fruit.
“The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food,” the panel
notes, “has undertaken a
comprehensive review of its programmes in the light of the
panel’s report. Much of the
research it supports is closely aligned with the panel’s
recommendations.”26 It has also,
it claims, been able to influence the agenda of several of the
research councils. The
BBSRC, for example, now has “a much more explicit emphasis
on consumer science, a
priority topic identified by the panel.”26
The Retail and Consumer Services Foresight Panel has made a
similarly selfless
contribution to scientific inquiry. Chaired by Sir John Banham,
the head of Tarmac, it
warns of the “potentially dire” impact of growing concerns
about the environment.27
Guard Dogs of Perception: The Corporate Takeover of Science
Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003 55
The consequences of these concerns, such as “increasing
difficulty in carrying out
green field developments coupled with attempts to restrict
traffic and reduce
congestion” would result, inexplicably, in “fewer women …
working”, “cuts in state
pensions” and a collapse in living standards.27 It has drawn up
an “Agenda for Social
Science Research”: the taxpayer was asked to finance studies
17. into “the patterns of
choice and behaviour which affect the consumption of certain
goods.”27
Since 1998, the Government has doubled its financial support
for the Foresight
Panels. Last year’s white paper announced a further £15 million
for a new Foresight
Fund. At the same time, government research programmes
looking at wider and
arguably more important questions than how best to rip off the
consumer are being
closed down. Last year the government announced the
dissolution of the Centre for
Coastal and Marine Sciences (CCMS), which was responsible
for the long term
monitoring of climate change, pollution and the impact of other
human activities on the
marine environment. The centre had to be closed, the
government announced, because
“a continuing decline in external funding has made the financial
position of CCMS
unsustainable in the long term.”28
There’s no government money for the centre, in other words,
because there’s no
corporate money. But no one in government has explained why
it should expect to find
corporate money for the long term monitoring of problems
caused by corporations. The
signal from government is clear: if the business community
doesn’t like what you’re
doing, don’t bother applying for public funds.
As big business infiltrates the research agenda, ever wider
zones of inquiry are
18. placed off-limits. In 1999, the Government published a white
paper on public health
called Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation.29 The only
atmospheric pollutant named in
the report is radon. It also happens to be one of the only
pollutants in Britain which
does not result from the activities of large corporations: it is
naturally occurring. The
report warns us about the dangers of cancer resulting from
“exposure to radon gas in
certain homes or excessive sunlight”,29 but nuclear power
stations are not mentioned,
and nor are any other chemicals. The white paper informs us
that the Government
hosted “the largest ever Ministerial conference on environment
and health” in 1999.29
It fails to tell us that the links between cancer and industrial
pollution were dropped
from the agenda soon before the meeting began.
Over the past few years, there has been no shortage of claims
that environmental
and consumer campaigners distort science. There’s no question
that some people have
made exaggerated statements. But these distortions are both
occasional and contestable.
The corporate distortion of science, by comparison, is
systematic and mostly invisible.
By extending the doctrine of commercial confidentiality into
our laboratories, it
suppresses inconvenient findings. It undermines both free
endeavour and free speech.
Scientific freedom is a guarantor of our wider liberties. Science
tells us who we are
19. and how we can live better. It is the glass through which we
perceive the world. If
distorted, it twists our understanding of the ways in which we
might progress, of the
alternatives to existing models of development.
But our scientific horizons have narrowed. The government’s
advisors are
compromised, the ministers who listen to them are biased.
Business now stands as a
G. Monbiot
56 Science and Engineering Ethics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2003
guard dog at the gates of perception. Only the inquiries which
suit its needs are allowed
to pass.
Some people have suggested that my attacks on science policy
mean that I am
antagonistic to scientists, even anti-science. But, as I hope this
presentation has made
clear, the primary victims of the corporate takeover of science
are science and the
scientists themselves.
Tragically, many scientists have responded to criticism not by
siding with the
public against the prostitution of their profession, but by siding
with their corporate
backers against the public. With the help of a little imagination
we should surely be
working together, to ensure that the scientists get their freedom,
20. while the public gets
research which helps us rather than harming us. We need a
revolution in our
laboratories, to overthrow the corrupt new lords of learning.
