"Risk of misuse
The thought had never previously struck us. We were vaguely aware of security concerns around work with pathogens or toxic chemicals, but that did not relate to us; we primarily operate in a virtual setting."!!!
Operating in the rarefied air of 'science' they were unaware of the risk of misuse!
I don't think they can even conceive of the idea that the government might misuse this technology.
