This Week's Letters

The value of appropriate review of interdisciplinary research is emphasized. In response to articles about "engineering a new green revolution," readers express concern about support for sustainable-renewable agriculture, the development of markets for crop-protection chemicals, and whether photosynthesis must be improved to increase productivity: "understanding how the whole organism responds to short-term environmental change would seem to be the better approach to improving plant productivity," says one group of letter writers. Women are said to be achieving parity in the biological sciences. A group of primatologists argue against the use of virulent HIV strains in vaccine trials in chimpanzees. And the "dreaded abbreviation syndrome" is discussed.
