Upcoming Meeting: National Security and Scientific Openness
“The National Academies and the Center for Strategic and International Studies will co-host a public meeting on Jan. 9 to bring together scientists and policy-makers to discuss whether current publication policies and practices in the life sciences could lead to the inadvertent disclosure of “sensitive” information to those who might misuse it. The goal of this meeting is to start a dialogue between the life sciences and national security communities that might eventually lead to the development of a common set of publication policies for journals in the life sciences…Participants will discuss current bioterrorist threats to the nation, and past and present methods of controlling access to scientific information in the United States” The meeting will take place here in D.C. If you can’t attend, it will be webcast.
