Latest News and Research about Stem Cells and Your Opinions on Stem Cell Research (Feel free to CONTRIBUTE by adding comments, and your own summaries)
I'm at a conference in San Francisco, learning about art and learning technology and other cool stuff, so no time for blogging. But the morning SF Chronicle that was delivered to my hotel room had a long news article about the Prop 71 lawsuits: the Judge denied five motions for summary judgment arguing that the Proposition was unconstitutional. There is another hearing next Tuesday.

I have a BA in liberal arts with advanced degrees in writing and literature. I've long been interested in how science is represented in literature (including but not limited to science fiction) and other media, and in the ethical and social implications of scientific movements. I've written several academic articles on racial identity in science fiction and also done some work on Darwin in literature. 3 favorite novels relating science to past historical periods: The Voyage of The Narwhal, by Andrea Barrett; Angels and Insects, by A.S. Byatt (the first novella, Morpho Eugenia); and, less stikingly but still a great book, The Mannikin, by Joanna Scott.
