Corporate Influence at Universities

Our investigations have uncovered secret financial arrangements and collaborations between corporations and supposedly “independent” academics who provide public relations and lobbying assistance to pesticide and ultra-processed food companies. The public has a right to know about the commercialization of universities, and the industry ties of universities and professors who promote and defend pesticides, artificial sweeteners, GMOs, food additives and other products that may harm our health or the environment. We produce fact sheets explaining the industry connections and tactics of high-profile academics who deny science and provide lobbying and PR aid to product-defense campaigns.
