Aaron LevineAaron Levine, an associate professor in the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy, was recently quoted in an article entitled “California Stem-cell Agency’s Supporters Reveal Plan for $5.5-billion Ballot Initiative” for Nature, July 24.
Here's an excerpt:
Advocates for stem-cell research in California are pushing ahead with a plan to save the struggling state-funded California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) by asking the state’s voters to approve a US$5.5-billion lifeline for the agency.
Americans for Cures, a group in Palo Alto, California, that advocates for stem-cell research, plans to form a non-profit lobbying arm in October or November to support the proposal, the group’s founder and chair, Robert Klein, told Nature. Its goal is to put the plan before California voters in November 2020 during the next state-wide election.
The School of Public Policy is a unit of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.
