An interesting discussion is underway
in comments on this blog concerning the shuttering of the NIH Center
for Regenerative Medicine and the departure of its leader, Mahendra
Roa.
It involves priorities, strategy and
funding, which one anonymous commentator says was inadequate.
Researcher Jeanne Loring of Scripps has also weighed in with her thoughts. Among other things, she said that Rao did tremendous work and that the California stem cell agency should "embrace his ideas." Another scientist says some of the problems stemmed
from failure to negotiate the bureaucratic byways of the NIH with the necessary skill. All the remarks can be found in a comment string on
the NIH item.
