This excitement is somewhat attenuated, however in light of our university’s current science related woes. It is unfortunate that we have slowed construction of the science complex in Allston, which has pushed stem cell research into old laboratories unequipped for such advanced procedures. We have already begun to witness the fallout created by the Allston delay: a few prominent professors of Molecular and Cellular Biology, displaced by the recent changes, have...
