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)
There's some interesting political news today--Democrats are scheduling a press conference to push Bill Frist to putting the stem cell bill on the Senate floor for debate. However, I have a pretty significant amount of work for a big project that I need to get done in a hurry today, so I need to attend to that before I start blogging. By then the press conference will probably have happened too. I'll hop on later in the day and let you know.
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.
