‘Adventurous’ woman sought to carry Neanderthal baby: candidate for dumbest stem cell story of 2013 already pops up

January 22, 2013 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D.

The headline reads: ‘Adventurous’ woman sought to carry Neanderthal baby Supposedly Harvard Geneticist George Church, according to Der Spiegel magazine (and gazillions of other mainstream media outlets that translated the German piece including here), wants to clone a Neanderthal baby using an unholy combination of stem cell and genetics technologies. The only problem is that Church …

The Soupome-If you find someone else’s hair in your soup, should you still eat it?

May 15, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 5 Comments

I was going to have a quick lunch of a delicious bowl of soup today and after a couple bites, I noticed a thick, dark curly hair in my soup. Crap! After my head shaving (see pic at that link) for the St. Baldrick’s fundraiser 2 months or so ago, which I did along with my …

Lessons from The Hunger Games about balancing science: public versus private

May 14, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D.

Two articles in today’s New York Times got me thinking about how science can be pursued privately or publicly. I believe that getting that mix of public and private science right will directly determine the fate of humanity. In a pop-science NYT piece, James Gorman writes about how people may in the not so distant …

Academia’s love-hate relationship with social media

May 3, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 10 Comments

Why don’t professors blog and do social media? Why am I the only professor with a stem cell blog across the globe (if there are other please let me know)? Why do I do this blog? I’ve written before about why I blog and listed the numerous blogs about stem cells out there that I …

CIRM goes genomic

January 22, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D.

In June 2011 I did a post about genomics and its growing importance both for science and society. The stem cell field has a very rapidly accelerating genomic component as well. I went so far as to call it a revolution and I still believe that is not an exaggeration. CIRM has rightly recognized the …

More on Myc: meet the “Miz’s” in our new paper

November 13, 2011 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

I recently did a post telling you about one of my favorite molecules, Myc, which is important not only in cancer but also in most, if not all stem cells including iPS cells. There’s a lot more to Myc and how it does it’s tricks in embryonic stem cells and iPS cells. It cannot do …
