    Document: M uch has been said and written about the risks and benefits of certain experiments that alter pathogens with pandemic potential (PPP) (see recent references 1 to 3 and references within). The experiments in question alter transmissibility, virulence, host range, drug susceptibility, immune responses, and/or infectivity or stability. A debate and research "pause" for certain experiments using certain respiratory viruses (influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome [MERS] , and severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] viruses) has electrified the scientific community, with strong "propause" advocates, strong "antipause" advocates, and everything in between. This letter is not about whether the experiments, debate, or pause is good or bad. This letter is about the potential impact of the debate and pause on graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and how their future plans may be affected.
