The exploitation and funding of science by corporate industries has created a range of serious problems, from distorted "science" to chemical products that damage the environment and harm humans. This course will examine corporate and scientific responsibility through case studies including I.G. Farben and chemical weapons, the development of refrigerants (ozone depletion), pesticides, gasoline additives, pollutants (Love Canal, Erin Brockovich), fraudulent medical and cigarette research, and the looming challenges of Genetically Modified Foods and organisms.
