Is the Debate and “Pause” on Experiments That Alter Pathogens with Pandemic Potential Influencing Future Plans of Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows?	2015-01-20		.txt	text/plain	1713	87	50	title: Is the Debate and "Pause" on Experiments That Alter Pathogens with Pandemic Potential Influencing Future Plans of Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows? This letter is about the potential impact of the debate and pause on graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and how their future plans may be affected. To gain initial insight into how the debate and research pause have affected trainees, I created an informal survey 2 days before the National Academy of Sciences meeting. These projects involve a subset of "gain of function" experiments designed to create mouse adapted viral strains, generate drug resistant viruses to understand drug mechanisms of action, understand host immunity by analyzing viruses with resistance to certain host immune pathways, and to study factors that influence transmission by the respiratory route (which was made famous by work from the Kawaoka and Fouchier labs in 2012). Third, the debate and research pause are influencing future plans of virology trainees.	./cache/cord-298773-vnmc6nqd.txt	./txt/cord-298773-vnmc6nqd.txt
