This Week's Letters

The discovery of a virus that causes mouse pox in commercial mouse serum prompts a reader to ask, "whether governmental oversight [of biologics testing] is sufficient." A writer points out that, while hurricane forecasts have become more accurate, the length of coastline warned per storm has increased. Openness is encouraged in public-private collaborations. It is pointed out that brain regions other than the nucleus accumbens have been linked to drug addiction. Scientists are urged to bring their knowledge to the courtroom. A clue to the origins of the Japanese population is offered. And the energy expenditure of a fidgeter is examined.
