Exceedingly few voices have defended the governor on the broader issue of limiting stem cell research. This is partly because of the increasing tendency of proponents of such research to label opponents as wanting to arbitrarily restrict “scientific inquiry?? or to selfishly limit the “understanding of human diseases.” Phrases such as these take the debate outside of the confines of stem cells and place it in territory that is either disingenuous– the accusation of being against “progress”—or entirely...
...many domains where it was badly needed. Some would say that the Faculty, rather than engaging in spirited debate about a controversial hypothesis that may (as he himself suggested) be overstated or mistaken, instead will not tolerate utterances by the President that surely fall within the bounds of academic inquiry??hardly an attractive image for a university whose motto is “Veritas.” Those characterizations would not, as I have tried to indicate, be a complete picture, but they would, I fear, contain an uncomfortable amount of truth...
During the year, the science and technology task force investigated 70 proposals for interdisciplinary work in Allston suggested by faculty, recommending 13 “promising areas of inquiry??: stem cell research, innovative computing, engineering and applied science, origins of life, quantum science, systems neuroscience, systems biology, chemical biology, global health, microbial science, environmental science, clinical research and collaborative science...
...task force recommended 11 other “promising areas of inquiry?? that represent some of the University’s weak spots: innovative computing, origins of life, quantum science and technology, neuroscience, systems biology, chemical biology, global health, microbial diversity and global infectious diseases, environment, clinical research and a center for collaborative science. But it emphasized the improvement of engineering as central to the future of University science...
...addition to stem cells, engineering and origins of life, the science report suggests that innovative computing, quantum science and technology, systems neuroscience and behavior, systems biology, chemical biology, global health, microbial science, environment, clinical research and collaborative science be among the “areas of inquiry?? the Allston science hub will focus...
