Hard times at Rense. We had all this when it first happened, not long after 9-11 and the anthrax scare was at its height.

Probably coincidence.

Researchers don't just work alone and in the dark. My friend who's working on the Human Genome Project has half a dozen colleagues that she shares data with and presents to and she has 4-6 lab assistants working with her at any given time.

If they were hushing things up, they'd have to go after colleagues AND lab assistants.
