Friends: The latest issue of Science (AAAS) carries a four-page article on an interesting idea. Both Prof. VijayRaghavan, Secretary, DBT, and Prof. Soumya Swaminathan, DG, ICMR and Secretary, DHR, are among the authors of the paper. Please distribute the paper referred to below widely in your institution, especially among life scientists and biomedical researchers. There was a time when the Ingelfinger rule dangled over the heads of researchers like a Democles sword, but now publishers give researchers a little more freedom. Best wishes.
