Return to Top comment: We've done it! by Richard Gallagher [Comment posted 2007-01-12 20:58:32] Hi Baxter,
I refer you to the full Feature on Allerca, published in our January issue , and the Editorial in the same issue that also addresses the topic (http://www.the-scientist.com/2007/1/1/13/1/). Thanks for your comment. I think that Geraldo would be proud. Richard Return to Top comment: article? what article? by Baxter Zappa [Comment posted 2007-01-12 20:07:23] I am all for investigative reporting, but this "article" (if we can call a slideshow an article) seems inappropriate for your audience. It could be summarized in one sentence:
We are trying to track down Mr. Brodie, owner of Allerca, a company marketing supposedly non-allergenic cats, and so far, all we have determined is that he doesn't pay his bills and seems like a shady character. The topics of interest are the cats and scientific/business fraud. A story analyzing the cats and the business practices relating to them would be interesting, but at this point, the article is like a bad case of Geraldo. |
