Wow, that's a seriously telling view from the inside!
Have you guys considered publishing your letter as an "Open Letter" online, given the editor's unwillingness to offer your alternative viewpoints in print?

For the record, that was the first thing I said to Carl when he called to interview me :-)
We talked for about an hour and he kept trying to make me say that the DIY community had the capability to make the mutated H5N1 now. Then he tried to get me to say that kids could do it accidentally. Then he asked me what about five or 10 years down the road, could we do it then?
He interviewed the FBI agent who interfaces with DIYbio and is friendly with Genspace. He had nothing but positive things to say about our community and not a word of that made it into the article. Instead they quoted a 'biosecurity expert' from academia who knows nothing about us.
Eri Gentry and I drafted a response in the form of a letter to the editor. It was never published.--To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/diybio/-/9XJYqo1LbCcJ.
