FReepmail me if you want on or off my stem cell ping list.
I don’t know when the final choice was made, but I was told during a picnic, August 4th, that Yamanaka would be a winner this time ... and he richly deserves the award. My source told me ‘Yamanaka was acutely focused upon developing stem cell sources that would not kill human beings to get them.’
Puhleeze! These guys were awarded a Nobel for that esoteric stuff? Give me a break! barack hussein obama, mmm, mmm, mmm won it for an actual accomplishment, or something. (do I really need the /sarc tag?)
