...gets to make a decision about whether mosquitoes should be released? It should not be the decision of the just the particular scientist; it should be a joint decision. Mosquitoes will cross national borders, so decisions should include a wide range of participants. We will need an international panel of scientists, policy makers, and perhaps ethicists to weigh evidence on this issue. That body (or a framework for assembling such a body) should be established now, so that if a better technology becomes available, no time is wasted in gathering the right people. I imagine, and hope, that a group...

But it remains unclear whether, or under what condictions, the White House...
...says. “They were the inspiration and the starting point.” BREAKING BARRIERS Like so much of Tutschku’s work, “TELL ME!…a secret…” incorporates the audience into the art. The three-paneled photographs are angled slightly to create a private space for the viewer. Microphones protrude from the center panel of the photographs and invite the viewer to speak to the images. When a person speaks into a microphone, the voice is then distorted and played back...
