One of the recurring them es of the SciFoo week has come back to me full circle. An article in today’s Frederick News-Post has many noted scientists proclaiming that the necessity & benefits of peer review and transparency of the data and methods used to evaluate the evidence in the Anthrax mailings.
The FBI said Monday that it expects scientists who did work related to the case will publish more than 10 papers based on their work in the next six months to two years. Apparently, there were a number of “novel” methods employed, which I find puzzling since I would think Anthrax is fairly well characterized already.
