Like just about everyone else with an interest in the recent lab biosafety lapses at the CDC and FDA, I’ll be tuned into the House House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hearing, which begins at 10am EDT.    The hearing will be broadcast from room 2123 of the Rayburn building and viewable at:
