Stanford's Chris Scott and His New Stem Cell Blog
A snappy new blog on stem cell issues has popped up at Stanford University, complete with a reading list and podcasts.
Called "The Stem Cell Blog," it is published by Chris Scott, director of Stanford's Program on Stem Cells in Society and author of the book, "Stem Cell Now." (You can find a picture of Scott here.)
The first post dates back to June 26 with a graphic account about research with live pigs. More recently, the blog has a post based on work by Susan Stayn, Stanford's state stem cell legal expert. Called ?What Color is Your State?? it begins like this:
"Taking a cue from Homeland Security, we?ll periodically publish a color-coded ranking of American states and their legislative positions on embryonic stem cell research."You can also download the state rankings in a PDF file.
We have added The Stem Cell Blog to our links on the left of this site.

About Me
- Name: California Stem Cell Report
The California Stem Cell Report is the only website devoted solely to the California stem cell agency, other than the official government site. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, as the agency is known, is the largest single source -- $3 billion -- of embryonic stem cell research funding in the world. This Web site is published by David Jensen. He was a political reporter for UPI in California's capital and worked for 22 years for The Sacramento Bee in a variety of editing positions, including executive business editor. He was the primary editor on the 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning series, "The Monkey Wars" by Deborah Blum, which explored opposition and support for experimentation on primates. Jensen served as a press aide in the 1974 election campaign and administration of former Gov. Jerry Brown. (Total time served: Two years and one week.) More recently he published a blog on the 2003 California recall election that was cited by the Washington Post for its "cutting analysis." He writes this blog as travels in California (by land) and in Mexico (by sailboat). He can be reached by clicking on the email button under "view my complete profile" below.
