Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist (1996 for her series on Ebola) and author of 3 books (including The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance), has been writing extensively these past couple of months about the H5N1 research controversy.
I mentioned earlier essays of hers here and here, and she was part of the NYAS discussion panel on this research earlier this month which you can view at the following link:
"Dual Use Research: H5N1 Influenza Virus and Beyond" Panel Sparks Lively Debate
This week Garrett has also been blogging extensively while technical talks were held in Geneva over the fate of the Fouchier and Kawaoka research papers.
She is roughly at the halfway point of what she expects will be a weeklong series. You can access all of them at her blog.
As of this posting, the following essays are up:
