Bending Science

Bending Science: How special interests corrupt public health research is a 2008 book by Thomas O. McGarity and Wendy E. Wagner, published by Harvard University Press. Bending Science has been called a "fascinating and troubling investigation" of the ways science is manipulated in the process of public policy-making and legal decision-making. The authors present an encyclopedia of case studies, undertaken largely by industry, to distort the scientific endeavor.

Thomas McGarity and Wendy Wagner are both University of Texas law professors.

    And then I ran to get away,
    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.

    Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
