Exxon admitted it had spilled 11 million gallons of oil in Prince William Sound, but it didn’t believe the mistake warranted punitive damages. 


In this final episode of Slick Science, we learn how corporations like Exxon fight back with research they fund.


Host Gordon Katic digs through the notes of an environmental sociologist who worked on Exxon-funded research. 


We also hear perspectives from Exxon-funded research arguing against juries, especially in the context of punitive damages. 


With a better understanding of corporations and their hand in academia, the shocking final verdict on the Exxon Valdez oil spill starts to make sense.
