Out of the mouths of babes

Richard and I just returned home from Professor Christopher Scott's stem cell class at Stanford University. It was an honor to be asked to speak to his class about our experience in China. We learned a lot about the subject of stem cells by taking his course last summer.

We recently came across an article about China stem cell treatment co-written by AP reporter Alan Zagier. Mr. Zagier contacted Richard last May to ask him about our trip to China. What is even more interesting is a commentary on Mr. Zagier's article posted on this blog. I was both surprised and delighted to learn that the author of this insightful piece was a 10th grade student. The blog is the product of a school project and the posts written by "the brilliant minds of Jesse's 10th grade World History class."
