Noted: The University of Wisconsin (UW) in Madison is taking things further. Press releases about animal research at other universities usually skate over sensitive information, but UW’s describe injecting monkeys with Ebola virus and performing heart surgery on pigs, for example, and its web pages detail its animal research program. UW also posts its USDA inspection reports online, even after the agency began scrubbing them from its own website in a controversial move last year (Science, 26 May 2017, p. 790).
