Blogging from Russia for Scientific American

Hello from Tomsk, Russia on the western edge of Siberia! On my way here on assignment for the Scientific American website, I stopped off in Moscow and visited with one of the non-government organizations (NGOs) that have popped up in this country in recent years to help the estimated one million Russians living with HIV. I wanted to get their perspective on the issue of major pharmaceutical companies increasingly moving their clinical trials to countries like this one.

My first blog post on my visit is available on the Scientific American website. I hope you check it out.
