Somewhat disturbing news about the UK labs handling some of the most pathogenic bacteria and viruses (http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/dec/04/-sp-100-safety-breaches-uk-labs-potentially-deadly-diseases). Apparently, there have been numerous 'close-shaves' over the past 5 years including people erroneously sending out Anthrax to other labs that were neither expecting it nor had a use for it and people working with Ebola in protection suits with rips in the fabric. Must try harder?
