Court Rules Against Stem Cell Policy

Slashdot | Court Rules Against Stem Cell Policy:

"'A US district court issued a preliminary injunction Monday stopping federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research, in a slap to the Obama administration's new guidelines on the sensitive issue. The court ruled in favor of a suit filed in June by researchers who said human embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of human embryos. Judge Royce Lamberth granted the injunction after finding that the lawsuit would likely succeed because the guidelines violated law banning the use of federal funds to destroy human embryos. '(Embryonic stem cell) research is clearly research in which an embryo is destroyed,' Lamberth wrote in a 15-page ruling.'"

2030's Suki Series tie-in: Nothing direct yet. In the first series I don't remember any genetic therapy going on. Sarah introduced it in her fan fiction John and Suki: Vacation Fun where Suki survives a severe beating and is healed with products made from her own DNA. Something similar is in one of John's draft for the next book in the new series too. Most advances in stem cell therapy are made with stem cells from the patient, not from anonymous donors, just like today.

Slashdot | How Do You Organize Your Experimental Data?

This is interesting. I just "organize" and label queries, etc. by how it is sorted when opened. Tables get a descriptive name. Individual files are stored in folders with descriptive titles, graduating to a big folder for the project.

Slashdot | How Do You Organize Your Experimental Data?:

'As a researcher in the physical sciences, I have generated thousands of experimental datasets that need to be sorted and organized — a problem which many of you have had to deal with as well, no doubt. I've sorted my data with an elaborate system of directories and symbolic links to directories that sort my data by sample, pH, experimental type, and other qualifiers, but I've found that through the years, I've needed to move, rename, and reorganize these directories and links, which have left me with thousands of dangling links and a heterogeneous naming scheme. What have you done to organize, tag and add metadata to your data, and how have you dealt with redirecting thousands of symbolic links at a time?'

Series tie-in: Suki is a robotics theory researcher in the original Suki series.
