#  Interesting article on LAIs and pathogen escapes from The Bulletin

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 11 January 2024.

[A new study reports 309 lab acquired infections and 16 pathogen lab escapes between 2000 and 2021](https://thebulletin.org/2023/12/a-new-study-reports-309-lab-acquired-infections-and-16-pathogen-lab-escapes-between-2000-and-2021/), writes Matt Field for The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, in an article looking at a study published in *[The Lancet Microbe](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(23)00319-1/fulltext).* Both Matt's piece and the Lancet article make for fascinating reading.
