It’s not often that you hear famous comedian Milton Berle quoted in an essay about stem cells, but then U.C. Davis researcher and avid blogger Paul Knoepfler wasn’t looking for an ordinary essay as the winner for his recent contest.
Knoepfler launched the contest as a way to give some lucky individual a free registration to the
International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) annual conference in Vancouver, Canada later this month.
The winning entry came from a student Mohamed Gatie. Here’s his
winning essay.
The second place essay came from
Sherry Hikita. We met Sherry at the World Stem Cell Summit in San Diego last year where she signed up as one of our Stem Cell Champions.
Congratulations to both Mohamed and Sherry, and of course kudos to Paul for coming up with the idea and helping a fine student get a chance to go to one of the biggest events of the year for a stem cell scientist.
