If you want to know what they're up to, read their publications, not their emails. If they aren't publishing, then that's when things get fishy.

  Isn't that a bit like saying, "If you want to know what Monsanto is up to, read their publications"? Don't get me wrong. I think that Science is the time and again proven method and culture to move society forward. That said, Science has also become very politicized and needs to be scrutinized so that it remains trustworthy and beneficial. Publications are all well and good, but with all the public money and resources being shifted toward climate study and CO2 remediation policies, I think that we should continue to look behind the curtains wherever we can.

      Monsanto is spelled with an "M". There's another difference. How is being a corporation relevant? Are you saying that Scientists can't have questionable motives, methods, and data that should be closely examined when what they're both doing has such a big impact on our world, but corporations do?
