The California Stem Cell Report will provide most of what
you need to know live from tomorrow’s meeting of California’s stem cell
research agency, which is set to award $20 million to a tiny Calabasas, Ca.,firm.
During the 90-minute, teleconference session, the
agency’s governing board is also set to discuss the pros and cons of a $890 million spending plan that will take the agency to its termination date.
The California Stem Cell Report will monitor the session via
the Internet and bring readers updates and more as warranted by action
during the session.
Those interested in participating in the meeting and
offering suggestions and criticism can do so from 18 locations throughout the
state, but also in Atlanta. Here are the other teleconference sites and number
of sites in each location: San Franisco (3), Los Angeles (3), La Jolla (2),
Stanford, Davis, Napa, South San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Berkeley, Los
Gatos and Irvine. Specific addresses can be found on the agenda.
Randy Mills, president of the agency, will be addressing the board from La Jolla at
the Sanford Consortium, an enterprise heavily financed by the stem cell agency.
For those who want to listen in via the audiocast,
directions are also on the agenda. The PowerPoint presentations being used are
available via Webex. To get something close to a complete understanding of what
is going on, readers should log into both the audiocast and Webex. Comments during the meeting can also be emailed to the board via mbonneville@cirm.ca.gov or kmccormack@cirm.ca.gov.
A reminder: Agenda items are not necessarily taken in
numerical order.
