British scientists seek recognition of role in 'life on Mars' debate...
Article Abstract:
The British scientist, Colin Pillinger, claims that his research on the martian meteorite EETA 79001 published in 1989 was the first report indicating life on Mars. UK's science minister, Ian Taylor, feels that this research was ignored in the publicity given to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) discovery of the microbial activity in another meteorite by US scientists. Pillinger presented unpublished data which indicate the microbial origin of the carbonates in the meteorite to the journalists at a conference.

Chief to leave troubled British Biotech
Article Abstract:
Biotechnology company British Biotech PLC chief executive Keith McCullagh will step down from his position to revitalize investments in the flagging organization. Experts predict that Biotech share prices will remain low despite McCullagh's resignation, however. Investors are acting cautiously because the company has a poor reputation in biotechnology research.
