At stake, say the scientists, is the fledging field of stem cell science, which holds the potential...
...Although the waiting period varies, the quest for a tutor usually ends in triumph. Vivian M. Ku ’09 said she filled out a form to request a tutor for Life Sciences 1a, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology,” and received a reply after five days. “It’s helpful,” Ku said. “It’s a good program.” Every year, the BSC facilitates opportunities for tutoring in approximately 170 courses, using...
