Dear Editor: Thanks for Todd Finkelmeyerâ??s recent article regarding primate research in Madison. The contradicting statements made by members of the Animal Care and Use Committee were astounding.
Eric Sandgrenâ??s position that this isnâ??t some old boysâ?? network is offset by Chairman Norlin Benevengaâ??s statement that it was like your pals deciding whether you are going to do this thing or that thing. Rob Streiffer says that all the researchers here that heâ??s encountered take their responsibilities very seriously, while Sandgren acknowledges that some investigators may not think about ethics at all. Hmm.
