Committee of Concerned Scientists
An international non-profit organization of scientists, physicians, engineers and scholars dedicated to protecting the human rights and scientific freedom of our colleagues around the world.
Last year, the Committee of Concerned Scientists spoke
out in support of Kseniia Petrova, a Russian researcher at Harvard
Medical School charged after bringing undeclared frog embryos into
the United States. Federal prosecutors have now asked a judge to
dismiss all charges with prejudice, potentially bringing an end to her
prolonged legal ordeal.
