Almost half of the 13,000 DNA sequences from marine organisms are owned by chemical companies. The goal of the United Nations is to build a better system for sharing marine genetic resources. It can improve crops etc.

I announced a case for scientists at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) held in Boston this afternoon. Think more deeply about their social responsibility. Frankel said that the focus of the scientific community at the moment is that scientists' professional responsibility is to carry out research according to "scientific community agreed standards". He called these responsibilities "internal." But Frankel believes that scientists also have "external" social responsibility for a larger community and "can not tolerate internal focusing anymore". Science depends on public funds, influences policy decisions, and provides risks and benefits to society. "The communities in which you live and communities far away will eventually be affected by the work you are doing."
