Most of his colleagues work with adult stem cells, and NIH funding for work with adult stem cells far exceeds funding for ES cells. The theory that he was opposed for his stem cell opinions does not hold water. Some of his colleagues, like him, object to creation of ES cells. You can easily find such information in the press releases this year about work by his colleagues (no press released about his work, as he does not publish).
Welcome to FR.
This is the first I’ve read that his colleagues share his opposition to embryonic stem cell research. You say it’s easy to find press releases that verify this claim, but I couldn’t find them. Since it’s easy for you, would you mind providing links? Thank you.
