“This is an exciting moment for the CIRM as these awards mark the first step in our scientific program of stem cell research--an accomplishment we have been able to achieve in less than one year as a state agency. The CIRM training program established today will be the most comprehensive training program to date in the field. It will provide a pipeline of highly trained basic and clinical investigators for the research that CIRM will fund in California.”
Zach Hall
“Re-evaluation doesn't guarantee program growth. But because of this history of cooperation between USGS and partner scientific organizations, Alaska presents an ideal situation for further development of an integrated science approach to understanding complex resources and environmental systems. These factors, combined with the critical need for scientific information to support far-reaching resources and environmental policy decisions in Alaska, clearly merits a new look at our efforts there and an assessment of the willingness of those who control the purse strings to support more work.”
Charles Groat
“There is no scientific evidence that escaped farmed salmon interferes with the wild salmon gene pool. Wild salmon have been breeding for thousands of years and have survived. Farmed salmon have been bred for 30 years and it is unlikely that they are going to overpower the wild salmon gene pool. We are not in business to let salmon escape; our business depends on keeping them in the cages. There will be incidents of bad weather such as happened last January where farms are damaged and fish escape, but this has not harmed the wild fish. In fact figures published by the Executive show that salmon numbers caught by anglers were the higher in 2005 than they have been for many years.”
Angus MacMillan
“Alaska is a land of great opportunity for scientific research.”
“Selling drug secrets violates a trust that is fundamental to the integrity of both scientific research and our financial markets.”

“It's unfortunate, and we're disappointed the FDA did not grant the stay, ... But because there are no new scientific findings other than what the poultry groups submitted already, the likelihood of the company being successful in a further legal action is next to nil.”
Bob Walker
“The biggest changes are the kids and the resources they have. They use the scientific method better than I've ever seen it used before.”
Corky Helms
“the most important scientific effort that humankind has ever mounted.”
Craig Venter
“Now we have a permanent scientific presence on another planet.”
Charles Elachi
“As it now becomes clear, scientifically, legally and practically, Yucca Mountain is not going to become a single repository for nuclear waste, and we need to start thinking about new strategies and new places to deal with this,”
