What standards are upheld by the scientific community affect the community internally, and also affect its relations with society at large, including Congress.

Questions have also arisen about AIDS being transmitted to hemophiliacs via blood transfusions.

The only goal of science is the honour of the human spirit, and a question in number theory is worth a question concerning the system of the world.

They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community.

Of course, screening for HIV did essentially eliminate the transmission of this virus by transfusions.

Questions have arisen about the policing of science. Who is responsible for the policing? My answer is: all of us.

I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.
