RESEARCHERS PROTEST DESTRUCTION OF BACTERIA COLLECTION
A group of nearly 250 researchers is requesting
an investigation into the destruction of thousands of samples from an infectious
disease lab at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The collection — which contained nearly 10,000 specimens — was the product
of more than 20 years of work and included many different strains of infectious
bacteria, some of them very rare.
