target=_blank>This week, the California Institute for Regenerative
Medicine attracted Olympic-style bids from nearly a dozen cities — with
offers of thousands of free hotel rooms in some of the priciest tourist
cities in the state, turnkey laboratory space, a museum exhibit,
interactive plasma television screens and many other perks, large and
small.
The competition underscores what many California voters
believed when 59% voted to fund the work: that embryonic stem cell
research might be the next big thing. The agency, with $3 billion in
research grants to distribute over a decade, marks the largest
investment any state has made in science.
