Proposed megafacility to breed monkeys in U.S. dismays activists and neighbors but excites scientists
Bainbridge, a rural town in southwestern Georgia with a population of 14,000, could soon become home to 30,000 additional residents: cynomolgus macaques. A new company called Safer Human Medicine (SHM) has announced plans to build an 80-hectare facility that would sell monkeys to universities, contract research organizations, and pharmaceutical companies that perform research on the animals. The breeding facility would dwarf others in the United States and could ease a serious shortage of monkeys for research. But it faces pushback from the local community and concerns from animal welfare groups about the company’s...

Why the White House is taking so long to issue new research security rules
Despite broad bipartisan agreement that U.S. academic research is vulnerable to threats from China, the White House remains deadlocked over how to implement a policy issued by former President Donald Trump’s administration in its last week that is intended to protect data, technology, and other fruits of federally funded scientific studies from foreign interference. University administrators have spent the past 3 years trying to anticipate what will be expected from their institutions to comply with the pending standards, which will regulate the conduct of every scientist who receives government support.
