Including my photograph in the box "Science veiled in secrecy" on page 122 of your News Feature on Arab science — "Blooms in the desert" (Nature 416, 120–122; 2002) — might suggest to your readers that I support the views expressed in the article, about censorship and secrecy in Arab countries.In fact, I emphatically do not share any of these views.
