Developing countries urgently need research to help relieve the burden of disease. It is vital that wealthier countries help sponsor this research, but rigorous ethical safeguards are needed to prevent the exploitation of those who take part. This report defines the ethical standards for healthcare research in developing countries.

Los familiares de cuatro niños fallecidos en el ensayo del Trovan -un fármaco de Pfizer para la meningitis- y un antibiótico en Nigeria serán los primeros en recibir una indemnización. El caso se remonta a 1996, cuando la multinacional ofreció el producto para su utilización en Kano, al norte del país, que sufría una epidemia de meningitis. Otros 200 pequeños sufrieron terribles secuelas.

Welcome to the Social Media Classroom and Collaboratory. It’s all free, as in both “freedom of speech” and “almost totally free beer.” We invite you to build on what we’ve started to create more free value. The Social Media Classroom (we’ll call it SMC) includes a free and open-source (Drupal-based) web service that provides teachers and learners with an integrated set of social media that each course can use for its own purposes—integrated forum, blog, comment, wiki, chat, social bookmarking, RSS, microblogging, widgets , and video commenting are the first set of tools. The Classroom also includes curricular material: syllabi, lesson plans, resource repositories, screencasts and videos. The Collaboratory (or Colab), is what we call just the web service part of it. Educators are encouraged to use the Colab and SMB materials freely, and we host your Colab communities if you don’t want to install your own. (See this for an explanation of who “we” are).
