→‎List of people willing to join an email requesting the public release of Lenski's data: draft letter

Line 14: Line 14:

:::::Provisionally willing, pending review of the finished draft. I make it a policy never to sign my name to anything I haven't read. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 18:49, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

OK, we have 7 so far. Let's work up a draft. Here's a start, and improvements are welcome:

+

Dear Prof. Lenski,

+

Your recent paper in PNAS, "Historical contingency and the evolution of a key

+

innovation in an experimental population of Escherichia coli,"[http://myxo.css.msu.edu/lenski/pdf/2008,%20PNAS,%20Blount%20et%20al.pdf] has created interest in the media and among the public. We note that the paper acknowledged taxpayer funding and that PNAS has a policy of making data available.

+

Given the significance of the claims, we respectfully request the public release of the data underlying the key claims in the paper for public scrutiny. Like most papers, your paper itself does not disclose the data themselves, and three times your paper expressly states that referenced data are not shown. Your website[https://myxo.css.msu.edu/ecoli/] already discloses some older data, and seems well-suited for public release of the data underlying your recent paper.

+

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this.
