Rick Bogle: UW should be open with research danger

Dear Editor: In his May 12 letter to the editor, Dr. James W. Tracy asserts that Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka has not worked with “live, infectious” 1918 Spanish flu virus on the Madison campus.

….In the spirit of transparency, the university should make available on its Web site all research protocols involving deadly airborne agents and explain the methods being used to contain them and safeguard the public’s health.
