San Jose Newspaper Lauds CIRM Chairman Thomas

Posted: February 17, 2013 at 3:05 am

The California stem cell agency got some good
news this week. The San Jose Mercury News ran an editorial yesterday
that was headlined,

“State stem cell agency is
taking Institutes of Medicine advice”
The 306-word editorial said CIRM
Chairman Jonathan Thomas is a refreshing change from Robert Klein,
the first chairman of the $3 billion enterprise. The brief editorial
said Thomas recognizes that the eight-year-old agency "has to mature." It said Thomas was trying to improve transparency and accountability.
The last paragraph declared,
 “If the stem cell agency can establish a record
as a good steward of public dollars to finance brilliant
science, it can continue to play a useful role in
stimulating and guiding research to bring the potential
cures from stem cell research to fruition.”
