The city strengthened its regulation of labs after three BU scientists became infected with tularemia in 2004, an episode that revealed sloppy lab practices and a failure to report those illnesses in a timely fashion.

This time, the university has pledged to operate transparently, promising to share findings of an internal investigation with scientists across the university and even researchers at other schools.
