Security Through Obscurity:
US Government Advisors Want Flu Research Censored
A panel of scientific advisors to the US government are asking researchers to censor their work into the flu virus.
They believe that there are implications for national security if the research is published in peer review journals.
From The New York Times:
“I wouldn’t call this censorship,” Dr. Alberts said. “This is trying to avoid inappropriate censorship. It’s the scientific community trying to step out front and be responsible.”
