Tab Title: Financial Investments

Tab Content:

Scientists' financially invested position with GM corporations: Material researchers publish are, at times, analyzing the risks and benefits associated with their employer's products. Diels and colleagues (2011) state other factors influencing researchers' results are their career considerations, long standing personal scientific viewpoints and "value-based opinions over the role of science in society and faith in technology." Although scientific interests and personal values are different, scientists may make their interests and values one in the same—meaning, researchers may release results in line with their employer's corporate interests if it will benefit them. Additionally, in studies where at least one of the publishing authors was affiliated to the GM industry, funding amounts from GM corporations were left out of their report.
