This Week's Letters

A group of conservation experts emphasizes that "[a] biodiversity conservation database, based on field studies and scientists' notebooks in addition to museum data, is urgently needed..." Chinese proverbs offer sage guidance for international collaborations on bioinformatics projects. And the Wen Ho Lee case has galvanized Asian-American scientists to examine their status in the research community, and on that topic the comment is made that "it is not just a 'glass ceiling,' but it is becoming a more hardened 'diamond ceiling' as more Asian Americans excel in all areas of science and technology."
