Comprimising Scientists

Are professions and/or fields of/in science being compromised for money? In a past post titled Scientists For Pay?, I provided a short summary on an article I found on Seed Magazine.com which addressed the rise of modern scientists that worked in the industry/for money. In this post I want to provide my own personal analysis on the notion/issue. In agreement with the article, more scientists are paid for their work and are starting to provide skills and knowledge for the industry. The pros of this rising notion is that it provides products and knowledge that can generate revenue for the businesses involved and income for scientists which also helps the economy. Another pro is products are created that better help the general public. Also it creates jobs for scientists and provides valuable workers for businesses. The cons of the rising notion is that the integrity of the scientist is almost tarnished. Also irrelevant and unimportant findings are concluded among scientists who work for the industry. The rise of capitalism can kind of come into play because of the increasing revenues coming in to huge companies and/or businesses. Feel free to comment on errors made in this post or on the topic at hand. Link to post:http://theintellectblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/scientist-for-pay.html
