| | The EMBO Question Debated 406
A discussion of the proposed European Molecular Biology Laboratory was held at the Royal Society on October 21. Although it was the intention of the organizers that the discussion should be private, the occasion has been widely talked of in the past few days. What follows is an account of some of the proceedings which has been pieced together from several sources. Nature apologizes to those among the participants who may be surprised to see their opinions appear in print—they have been widely talked of—and to its readers for being unable to provide a fuller account of what went on.
