Healthcare Inspired Terrorism?
Posted by Mike on June 5, 2009 Even I am speechless over this. You know those terrorists captured a couple of weeks ago in NYC? It appears that at least one of them was motivated by trying to pay for a brother’s liver transplant:
More on Needless Bioterrorism Hysteria
Posted by Mike on June 4, 2009 Recently, I wrote about how bioterrorism seems to freak people out needlessly. A Man With a Ph.D. makes some other good points:
Unnecessary Bioterrorism Hysteria
Posted by Mike on June 2, 2009 A recent post about the looming specter of bioterrorism by William Lind due to ‘biohacking’ seems overblown to me.

What Would Happen If the Mad Biologist Were to Use His Superpowers for Evil
Posted by Mike on December 21, 2008 Over at What’s New in Life Science Research, I discuss different ways of being a bioterrorist. Comments are off here, go comment over there.

Apparently, one such turkey named “Sully” (by turkey-loving sympathizers) that established an enclave in South Boston is nowhere to be found:
