    Harvard Announces Plan For Stem-Cell Research

    Harvard could rock Kerry Robinson's world.

    Seriously, they have a $20b endowment -- could you imagine what they could do if they really wanted to?

    Is this news because their endowment is larger than usual? Isn't Wash U. in StL one of the biggest stem-cell research places in the country?

      In 2001, Bush limited federal funding for stem cell research to lines that were already open.

      Harvard, with the world's largest endowment by far, said to hell with that, and will puruse this on its own. I imagine WashU could do the same thing, but it's harder to do without all the $$$ backing you up.

      I find it interesting that Hah-vard is basically blowing off the Feds, in an era where most university scientific research is funded by NiH or other Uncle Sam grants.

      Maybe only interesting to me, however..

        Good for them.

        Why do those wealthy institutions need to suckle on the federal teat anyway?
        And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.
