Contributions that scientific unions could make to the efforts of the Megascience Forum to foster international scientific cooperation are illustrated by the experiences of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. There is a major shortage in the United States of neutron diffraction instruments, which are currently the only means structural biologists have to probe certain aspects of protein structure. A reader recounts his findings from the 1949 memoir of chemist Arthur Eichengrün about the clinical development of aspirin, findings which he published in Collier's in 1953. And "[I]f the United States decides in favor of genetically modified crops, they should be free to do so....However, Europe should similarly be allowed to decide."
