Nature Insight -- Stem Cells Podcast

Twenty-five years after stem cells were first identified in mice we can now isolate and grow stem cells from humans, opening up potential therapies for diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes. But with these opportunities comes ethical controversy and claims of fraud in some stem-cell research fields.

This special Stem Cells Podcast presents interviews with leading stem cell researchers and a live discussion on the various scientific and ethical problems in this highly charged arena.

Finally got around to listening to this show and I've got to say it was truly EXCELLENT! Great information, well-presented in a comprehensive and comprehensible fashion. Particular kudos to the interviewer who seemed to always be asking the questions that I wanted to ask myself. Thanks guys - I'd love to see this be a regular thing!
