Pollution experts refuse to let Science Museum feature work over Shell links

Steve and Dee Allen say sponsorship deal and gagging clause' show it is no longer a credible scientific institution

Two prominent scientists are refusing to allow their work to be included in the Science Museum's collection because of the institution's links to Shell.

Steve and Dee Allen, who have carried out some of the most important research into global plastic pollution, say the museum's sponsorship deal with the fossil fuel company - and a subsequent gagging clause" - meant it was no longer a credible scientific institution.
