Letter: Cloning credit needed for Dolly the Scottish sheep

Published 7 March 2018

From Lynne Turnbull, North Berwick, East Lothian, UK

I bought a subscription to New Scientist for my husband, never having read it myself. Now, each week I will him to finish reading so I can devour it. I love it and am engaging my daughter with it. I am disappointed, however, with your mentions of Dolly the sheep in three articles over two weeks (27 January, p 3 and p 4, and 3 February, p 24). Not once did you credit the Roslin Institute, nor the University of Edinburgh. Don't assume everyone knows where Dolly was made. Do acknowledge those scientists in Scotland.
