...available online before professors gather in University Hall. These printed documents may soon become relics of a long-gone era. The prepared packet of information was “apparently your last chance to get it on hard copy,” Molecular and Cellular Biology Professor Douglas A. Melton soberly told the Faculty when he presented a docket item. Papers rustled. IN THE DOGHOUSE In his presentation of the report of the Task Force on the Arts, English Professor and Task Force Chair Stephen J. Greenblatt volleyed numerous faculty concerns, ranging from the need for basic painting courses...

...been a long eight years for stem-cell researchers as the ugly stepchildren of science. "Looking back, I realize how restrained and constrained we were by working in a silo imposed on us by the previous Administration," says Melton. "I am delighted because now we are free to interact with all of our colleagues here at the university and elsewhere in the world in an open manner. It's liberating to hear that science, not political ideology, will guide the Obama Administration in its decisions...
...cells but could not afford duplicate facilities to store and experiment on them (that is, facilities that involved zero contributions from the government) can now do so. "I already have e-mails from scientists in this country asking to get in line to have us send them cells," says Melton, who used private funds to create 70 new lines after the 2001 ban and made them available at no cost to any lab that could study them.

...government money could be used for embryonic-stem-cell work. Lab personnel had to log each minute they spent studying embryonic cells and keep all equipment, from computers to pens and pipettes, separate. Often, different lab facilities had to be built to avoid any potential crossover of funds. Melton's embryonic-stem-cell research was relegated to a 250-sq.-ft. (23 sq m) basement room on Harvard's campus, and every piece of equipment was stickered to remind users whether it had been bought with federal or nonfederal funds. At the University of California, San Francisco, stem-cell researcher...
