That is, universities can be so concerned about risks to researchers (and being sued) that their ethics committees make it very difficult if not impossible for researchers to undertake research in locations where there may be safety risks. I certainly think that researchers need to be well prepared for risks, but on the other hand, there is a danger that excessive risk-averseness on the part of universities might severely constrain even well-prepared researchers.

> The academic podcast and blog, 'Coffee & Cocktails', has posted a rather important piece by Dr Andrea Hajek on the need for universities to reassess their ethics and safety policies before allowing academics to go out into the field. I strongly urge readers to take this article very seriously as the ethics committees have a huge role to play in the future safety of our students and academic staff.
