Stem Cells and Brain Drain- -Naturally, They Go Together
While researchers mass-produce embryonic stem cells, in Columbus, Ohio politicians try to walk the fine line between tech and moral issues. Meanwhile, our state’s brain-drain continues. I say, take a stand (in the 21st century) and let the scientists do their thing—here, in Ohio. Then, get on to some issues that NEED political intervention: like really improving school funding. And then the teachers worry about the Science Olympics.
