Chemical reaction
Article Abstract:
The American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society and a non-profit organization is in a dispute with the US National Institute of Health (NIH) as it unveiled a freely accessible database, PubChem. The ACS views this as unfair competition to the fee-based Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) because it is taxpayer-funded, and the society wants the database restricted to molecules that are screened by NIH centers.

Agency under siege
Article Abstract:
Congress found potentially unethical links outside companies and researchers at the US National Institutes of Health agency. The implementation of draft reauthorization bill for the agency would give more authority to the director's office supporting additional and extensive monitoring and reporting functions there as well as giving the directors more power to enforce cooperation between institutes and centers.
