A brain drain out of the US turns into a gusher for California

Article Abstract:

Several scientists are leaving California and going to other countries for their work after the President Bush announced that federally funded stem cell biologists in the US would have to work under tight restrictions. One of the scientists is Roger Pedersen whose leaving US proved to be a good career move thus making him co-director of a new $30m stem cell institute.
