<p>The France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a semi-autonomous offshoot of the World Health Organization, is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-who-cancer-agency/who-seeks-new-director-for-cancer-agency-facing-u-s-scrutiny-idUSKBN1D72WY">expected</a> to appoint its new director on May 17th for a five-year term. The new appointee will take over a number of challenges from outgoing director, Chris Wild, who has led the agency through a difficult period that has seen the organization <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/62bd4bae-32f8-11e6-ad39-3fee5ffe5b5b">backtrack</a> on several of its assessments, and <a href="https://science.house.gov/sites/republicans.science.house.gov/files/documents/020618%20Lucas%20-%20IARC.pdf">dragged</a> before a U.S. Congressional committee to answer for its &#8220;shoddy work&#8221; on others.</p>
<p>With Congress <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-congress-who-cancer/u-s-house-committee-may-reconsider-who-cancer-agency-funds-idUSKBN1E22VL">threatening</a> to pull funding <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-cancer-iarc/exclusive-u-s-congressional-committee-demands-answers-on-who-cancer-agency-idUSKBN14X011">due to</a> a &#8220;record of controversy, retractions, and inconsistencies,&#8221; the agency&#8217;s credibility is standing in the balance. What is particularly troubling, however, is that the IARC&#8217;s assessments <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-who-cancer-agency/who-seeks-new-director-for-cancer-agency-facing-u-s-scrutiny-idUSKBN1D72WY">continues</a> to be highly influential, with real and often significant consequences for both businesses and policymakers.</p>
