New York Times on Hwang's Staff

A recent NYT article talks about the compartmentalization of Hwang Woo Suk's laboratory:

The frequent American visitors to Dr. Hwang's growing operation were impressed at the scale and skill of his operation and how he divided his scientists into task forces that specialized in each step of the cloning process. But this compartmentalization may have meant that not all of his co-workers knew what was going on. Few seem to have seen the colonies of embryonic cells Dr. Hwang said he had cloned from patients. 

This supports my post yesterday on Hwang's change of lab assistants may been a key factor in the fraud.

(note: heh heh...he said "staff"...heh...heh)
