The staff of the $3 billion California
stem cell agency is small – very small.

At one point point midway in its
history, they probably probably amounted no more than the number of workers at your
average Burger King. Today the staff even outnumbers the 29 persons who sit
on its governing board. At one point in years past, it did not.
The staff has had its share of
turnovers, but there is something certainly different about its
esprit compared to most state agencies.
Yesterday, one of its longtime
staffers, Cynthia Schaffer, wrote a little about the nuts-and-bolts
operations and the nearly 60 persons who work at stem cell HQ at 210 King
Street, across the street from the the San Francisco Giants baseball
park. Her item appeared on the agency's blog. Check it out.
