Kleiner Piece Listed in 'Best of Web'

Our article last week on the Kleiner-CIRM connection rated a “Best of the Web” listing on the widely read Gooznews Web site.

The article shared the distinction with stories from the Wall St. Journal and New York Times, among others.

Gooznews is published by Merrill Goozner, a longtime journalist and author of “The $800 Million Pill.”

For those of you who may have missed the Kleiner piece, here is the first paragraph:

"A biotech company heavily backed by venture capitalists who contributed nearly $6 million to the election campaign that created the California stem cell agency was awarded a $1.5 million grant this spring from the very same agency."

The piece was also mentioned on healthycal.org, a solid government policy Web site published  by Dan Weintraub, the former Sacramento political columnist.
