Letter: For the record

Published 13 June 2007

• We described Robert Weinberg of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research as being a “winner of a Nobel prize for his work on viruses and cancer” (2 June, p 38). He has not won the Nobel prize.

• Gordon Gekko may be a fictional character from the 20-year-old movie Wall Street, but we should not have used a fictional spelling of his name on our cover (2 June).
