Article Title: As Ethics Panels Expand, No Research Field is Exempt
This is so true - my mother is grad secretary in a biology department at a local university. She told me about a research proposal that was rejected because the ethics panel said they did not adequately account for how they would dispose of the research subjects.
The research subjects?
Bacteria
I'm off to check out a duplex in Echo Park. Wish me luck!

So, "flush down the toilet" isn't good enough? How about "expose to gamma rays and release into the wild"?

I really want to know how they're disposing of bacteria. Cause if they flush it down the toilet, it could infect the life in the sewers, and that's where Movies of the Week come from.
I don't have access to the NYT archives, but that article did indeed report some k-razy overreaching by ethics panels.
No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that sort of question. It was too long ago for me to remember properly! I messed up my funny story.
Good luck, Allyson! I used to live in Echo Park.
It's morning.
Ow.
Allyson, best of luck, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
So ita, do you feel relieved that it's over?
Happy birthday, Allyson!
