If you’ve ever publicly communicated enthusiasm for a new product or technology, you inevitably have been accused to being a shill for the company that produced it. It is a normal part of human psychology to assume there is an undisclosed motivation for someone’s excitement, and it is based on legitimate concerns about how conflicts of interest can shape one’s perceptions of associated science. We discuss the topic with Dr. Chris MacDonald from Toronto Metropolitan University.
