[Nhcoll-l] "Robbing Museums"

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

Some of you may have recently seen this blog post on "robbing museums" dealing with Dr Haq/Rehmani and his biological supply house - http://deepseanews.com/.  I was interviewed by the blog owner, Craig McClain, for the article and now it has been picked up by the journal Science.  I was just called by one of their science writers who was interested in finding out more and writing her own story.  All through this process I have specifically requested that no people's names or Institution names of others who have been contacted be used in the story (so as to protect the innocent :)) but now the Science writer is interested in hearing from others who may have been duped into sending samples or may have been contacted by Dr. Haq/Rehmani.

If you would be OK with relating your story to a Science writer please contact Jane Lee directly at jlee at aaas.org<mailto:jlee at aaas.org>.

Thanks

Andy
