[Air-L] research ethics world wide? - PS

[Charles Ess]

Very sorry, Peter, if my previous note seemed too abrupt - too much email
this morning ... (so what's different?)

Let me at least now include: thanks very much for making the observation,
contributing your own experience (Elizabeth Buchanan and I would _love_ to
talk with you about that!), and raising what for many of us is an
increasingly urgent question.

Again, any additional comments, insights, etc. that you - and/or other
AoIR-ists can offer from your own experiences would be greatly appreciated!

with all best wishes,
-c.
