DESCRIPTION:A series of four talks by renowned speakers will address quest
 ions such as: How has the steep increase of private funding and commercial
 isation affected the practice of science? What are the benefits\, and what
  are the possible limitations and drawbacks for the research enterprise? I
 s there a risk that private interests underlying much of industrial fundin
 g of basic research undermine the quality and reliability of research? A d
 emonstrative example would be some reported cases of a failure to disclose
  research results unfavourable to the funder. What can scientists do to sa
 feguard against such challenges to retain the trust that is invested in th
 em by the public? The four presentations will be followed by a panel discu
 ssion.\n\nSpeakers:\n* (chair) *John Sulston*\, Institute for Science\, Et
