The News story “Congress requests bubble-fusion reports” (Nature 446, 480; 2007) incorrectly implied that highly publicized hearings on allegations against the biologist Thereza Imanishi-Kari were held by the Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Committee on Science and Technology. The hearings were actually held by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
