Boost for work on deadliest forms of cancer
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 day 17 hours (www.nature.com)
Cancer Research U.K. is to fund more work on pancreatic, lung and esophageal cancer and open up to twenty more centers as part of plans to spend £1.5 billion (U.S. $2.3 billion) over the next five years. The charity, the leading funder of cancer research in the United Kingdom, will also spend more money researching radiotherapy and cancer surgery.
Although the number of people diagnosed with cancer continues to rise, mortality rates have declined since the mid 1980s. Yet pancreatic, lung and oesophageal cancers are still fatal in most cases 
What Obama's win means for science
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 weeks 4 days (www.nature.com)
This article is Nature's writeup of the future of science under President Barack Obama. It was published while results from several U.S. states were still pending but Senator Obama had already attained 297 electoral votes, more than the 270 required to declare a winner.
The article claims that both Obama and McCain's policies on the sciences would be very different from President George W. Bush's, but not necessarily as different from each other as many of their supporters seem to think
Stem-cell law goes to the polls
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 month 1 day (www.nature.com)
The 4 November election will settle more than who sits in the White House. The U.S. state of Michigan presently has a law forbidding active research on living human embryos. If a Michigan woman has gone through infertility treatments and wants to donate leftover embryos to the research facilities at the Michigan Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Ann Arbor, then she must either throw the embryos away or send them to another state
Ark floats gene therapy's boat, for now
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 month 6 days (www.nature.com)
In August, gene therapy's turbulent ride through the clinical rapids took a new twist as Ark Therapeutics released positive top-line results from a phase 3 trial of its adenoviral gene therapy Cerepro (sitimagene ceradenovec) for malignant brain tumors. Although the news boosted the London-based firm's shares, the course to market authorization and registration remains strewn with uncertainty—as Introgen, of Austin, Texas, found, to its cost, when the U.S
NIH Suspends Grant to Emory University

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has suspended a $9 million grant for a depression study led by psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff at Emory University in Atlanta. The punishment, imposed in August but only made public today, is apparently the most severe reaction by NIH so far to a Senate investigation of NIH-funded researchers who may have failed to report all of their income from drug companies.
Recipients of NIH grants are required to report income from industry consulting activities
Scientist Warns Cash Woes "Devastating" to Science
jerry submitted, created time 1 month 2 weeks (www.time.com)
Famed scientist Richard Leakey warned that the worldwide credit crisis will be "just devastating" to scientific research. Two of the major sources of funding, interest from endowments and donations from private companies, are already dropping. The full measure of the problem is expected to become visible in 2009, when organizations plan their budgets.
Nature inverviews Senator Obama on science issues
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 6 days (www.nature.com)
The title says it all. Obama, in his own words, responds to Nature magazine on scientific issues. The original idea for the article had been to get both candidates' views, but McCain's campaign declined Nature's invitation. Summaries of Senator McCain's views are given instead.
The only scientific issue for which McCain shows more enthusiasm than Obama is the space program. On others, he is either surpassed or matched by Obama
NIH director steps down, hoping that president will step up
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 6 days (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
Over the past several years, Dr. Elias Zerhouni has seen the U.S.'s National Institutes of Health through funding caps and Bush's ban on funding for embryonic stem cell research. He defended sexual research to a conservative Congress and he forbade NIH scientists from doing industrial consulting, a situation that had created some conflicts of interest.
And now he's off.
Zerhouni says that he's chosen now to depart because he wants the next presidential administration to focus on NIH as quickly as possible. Choosing a new director would force the new president to do that.
Politics: U.S. presidential candidates outline their positions on science issues
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 2 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
Senator Obama focused more on the government's role in supporting basic research while Senator McCain favored tax breaks for private businesses, but both candidates claim to support education, defense, federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and space. The only thing this article lacks is enough detail to see where either or both men might be weaseling. Because--they're politicians--they're going to weasel.
It is starting to look like, for the American scientific community, either candidate would be an improvement over our current situation.
Stem cells on the battlefield: the military takes interest in transfusions
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
We've discussed these several issues with other articles, but the Times stitches them together nicely. When we talk about stem cells, people tend to think of old men with Alzheimer's. When we talk about regenerative medicine, people tend to think of regrowing lost limbs. But the fact that companies--and the University of Ohio--are trying to hammer the kinks out of turning embryonic stem cells into red blood cells. DARPA is taking a deep interest, hoping for a way to turn progenitor cells into blood cells ont he battlefield
The military AFIRMs regenerative medicine
Darkfrog submitted, created time 5 months 5 days (www.popsci.com)
As of this past March, thirty different research institutions have joined to become the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM). With $250-million in funding, they plan to expand ideas like the "pixie dust" limb regrowth method that was mentioned on DiscoveR8 a few months back. Most interestingly, there are plans for a handheld spritzer that would spray keratinocytes directly onto burns and wounds.
I followed the links to this one. A few blogs wrote articles based on this one, but focusing on just the burn sprayer, which they've nicknamed the "stem cell gun
Does medical research need a sunshine law?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 5 months 1 week (www.nature.com)
A U.S. supreme court justice once said, "Sunshine is the best disinfectant." The sunshine here, is a metaphor for disclosure. The idea is that once the information is out in the open, corruption will disappear
Ethics drives some scientists to forego industry payments
Darkfrog submitted, created time 7 months 2 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
Scientists have long been paid for giving lectures or serving on advisory boards for corporations. It's just what people do and while it may create a conflict of interest, it's not something that too many people have gotten in a twist about. That doesn't mean that it's not a problem, however, and a small group of scientists have voluntarily decided that they're better off working pro bono.
Do you think they're doing the right thing? If something like this becomes commonplace, it could become expected
U.S. Funded Health Search Engine Blocks "Abortion" As Keyword
jane2007 submitted, created time 7 months 3 weeks (www.abcnews.go.com)
A U.S. government-funded medical information site that bills itself as the world's largest database on reproductive health has quietly begun to block searches on the word "abortion," concealing nearly 25,000 search results.
Is this for real? President Bush revamps science policies.
Darkfrog submitted, created time 8 months 11 hours (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
According to this article in Science, President Bush has just decided to "be friends" with science and scientists. He's budjeted $10 billion to the NIH, when he'd vetoed a $1 billion increase in the past, and he's talking about relaxing his takes on stem cell research and admits that his "Healthy Forests" and "Clear Skies" initiatives have increased logging and pollution. The more I read this, the more convinced I become that this is an April Fool's Day hoax.
Oh well... For a moment, I was convinced.
