Aimed at promoting Massachusetts as a center for biotechnology and furthering stem cell research at universities in the Commonwealth, this initiative has the potential to greatly benefit Harvard and Massachusetts. By providing $250 million for fellowships and grants for research, the bill will hopefully serve to help retain more of Harvard’s junior faculty. Often, the temptation to migrate to states where research funding is greater is a strong pull for junior faculty members at schools and institutes in Massachusetts. Losing promising young researchers is an unfortunate byproduct of underfunding specific initiatives. Increasing funding and therefore keeping...
