Reviews for Science for Sale
"Daniel Greenberg is still the bad boy of American science policy - and that's good for all of us. His message of 'follow the science, not the money' is the right one for public health, for the nation's productivity, and for the research enterprise." - Alan Kraut, executive director, Association for Psychological Science"
