Biologists pick Singapore: TWO TOP CANCER RESEARCHERS TURN STANFORD DOWN OVER STEM-CELL DELAYS
» science
Mercury News said:
Two of the nation's top government biologists are moving to Singapore instead of Stanford University, worried by delays in the allocation of $3 billion in taxpayer funds allocated for stem-cell research by Proposition 71...``It is a loss for Stanford and a loss for America,'' Weissman said. ``Without a doubt, they are the best people I know to find out which genes are altered to cause cancer.''
``When they do their work, it will be for Singapore,'' he said. ``They'll conduct their clinical trials in Singapore. The first place their work will be patented and used will be Singapore.'

Not sure if the MSM has covered this, if not, you read this first on Tomorrow.sg."
