In 2014, 27 scientists issued guidelines for safe laboratory use.
In the present article, we close this gap: we introduce computation of PH to a general audience of applied mathematicians and computational scientists, offer guidelines for the computation of PH, and test the existing open-source published libraries for the computation of PH.
Under the Clinton administration guidelines, scientists can use federal money to conduct research with embryonic stem cells created in the course of fertility treatments.
As professional medical and dental societies formulate guidelines, scientists say that what they really need are some good studies, which are only about to begin, as to what advice is helpful.
Francesca T. Grifo, director of the scientific integrity program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, praised the guidelines but cautioned, "A lot of the details are left to the agencies".
► "China has released its first national standards governing the treatment of laboratory animals, and scientists hope the guidelines will improve both conditions for animals and China's prospects for international research collaborations," Kathleen McLaughlin wrote on Monday.

To promote ethical research, scientists should develop guidelines for involvement of citizens in research, communicate effectively with participants and local communities at the outset of their involvement in research projects, carefully oversee their work, develop appropriate publication practices, and provide lay-volunteers with education and training on the responsible conduct of research.
This approach is an example of how organizations and scientists can establish guidelines to promote dissemination and sharing of information while still recognizing the realities of the patent system and related commercial objectives.
In any case, as discussed more fully by Dourson and Haber (2010), such "background" exposure to other chemicals is more explicitly addressed as part of a mixtures or "combined exposures" assessment, which is routinely done by scientists based on guidelines from a number of organizations (e.g., ACGIH, 2006; US EPA, 1986, 2000, 2009; IPCS, 2009).
Some scientists praised the new guidelines.
