...public policy outreach kind of thing, that they make sure that the public understands that they’re behaving properly,” del Campo said. Harvard’s affiliate institutions, such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, conduct separate technology transfer agreements because they are financially independent entities. Caltech, Cornell, MIT, Stanford, the University of California, the University of Illinois-Chicago and Urbana Champaign, the University of Washington, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, Yale University, and the Association of American Medical Colleges also endorsed the document...

In 1993, after years of evading responsibility, the Japanese government issued a statement officially acknowledging the army's role...
...Chilean military and academia: the captain once commanded the Chilean Navy SEALs, the expedition leader was in command of Augusto Pinochet's bodyguards, and Gian Paolo Sanino, the scientist who leads the ecotours, wrote Chile's new law on whale and dolphin watching. His payoff? He gets to conduct baseline research in an area where very little cetacean research has been done. "We always complain the private sector doesn't sponsor science," says Sanino. "Now they...
