They are exploring whether it may be a growing trend for scientists to be the subject of FOIA requests. It's up to you, but as this isn't quite fully resolved, I think it may be wise not to comment publicly at this stage. There is obviously also a risk that the Nature story would be picked up by other media. I asked Nature if they would run the story even if you didn't comment and they said probably not. However, this is no guarantee. Happy to talk this through with you further if you want to give me a call. Thanks, Simon Simon Dunford, Press Officer, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ.
