Finally! BU wins SOMETHING! As
\n posted
\n here in August<\/a>, Boston
\n University <\/a>has been hoping to construct a $1.6
\n billion dollar biodefense facility in a crowded low-income neighborhood
\n in the Boston area. Neighbors are understandably upset, as the announced
\n facility would contain live smallpox, Ebola and plague viruses, as well
\n as an additonal assortment of the deadliest pathogens known to man.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n University Medical Center has won a hard-fought national competition
\n to build and run a high-security bioterror defense laboratory in the
\n heart of the South End, a project with the promise of generating $1.6
\n billion in research grants. The lab would be unlike anything Boston’s
\n medical community has ever seen, with extraordinary measures taken to
\n assure that lethal
\n agents cannot escape. <\/p>\n
\n out of the Zoo, and they’re gonna keep track of a few billion microscopic,
\n colorless, odorless deadly pathogens? Sayonara South End, there
\n goes the neighborhood….<\/em><\/p>\n
