...expected those opportunities to come so soon. Trying to discover the right combination of genes that would reprogram adult cells was a scientific fishing expedition in a deep ocean. In early 2004 Yamanaka had worked up a list of 24 possible genes he thought were instrumental in cell programming, and was ready to begin testing them. There was no guarantee any of the 24 suspects were the right ones, and when Yamanaka offered the experiment to one of his students, the researcher turned him down.

Since then, our plans have been in the public eye and have benefited from further scrutiny and input of the Harvard community, neighbors, city officials, business leaders, and others. Every day, Harvard planners, engineers, faculty, consultants, neighbors, and city officials dive deep into the details of bringing the master plan to life, with new roads, building designs, construction planning, budgets, and schedules, right down to mapping the route that construction trucks will use to travel to the first building site. This is all critical work that must be done to the highest...
