Bio risks

http://www.newscientist.com/blog/shortsharpscience/2008/02/sunshine-snuffed-out.html

The national biodefense program has done some good things and some sloppy things. Sloppy procedures put people living near the biodefense labs at risk, sometimes very serious risk.

The organization, the Sunshine Project, which protected the rest of us from these risks has now run out of money and will no longer protect us.

The Project only needed $53,000 a year to keep going but did not get it.
