California Stem Cell Directors Working Through Lunch

Directors of the California stem cell agency are fetching their meals for a working lunch as they continue with their agenda at their meeting in Berkeley. Still to be heard are applications in the $40 million genomics round.

Just prior to lunch, the directors paid tribute to Michael Goldberg, who is leaving the board after serving since its inception in 2004. In his remarks after hearing his colleagues and noting the arduous history of the agency, he said,

"They tried to kill us. They failed. Let's eat."
