      <description>
        <![CDATA[Corie Lok - Apologies again for the silence. I’m still catching up from traveling and giving/preparing talks. In case you hadn’t heard, an advisory panel of scientists, convened by NIH head Elias Zerhouni, "recommended":http://www.boston.com/news/health/blog/2008/06/biolab_requires.html last week that the BU infectious disease lab (including]]>

      <title>MA bio bill bogged down in politics</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Corie Lok - When science gets mixed up with politics, interesting things happen. Massachusetts "Gov.
