I think you mean the isolation of human embryonic stem cells, rather than the "discovery." This sentence is flabby enough to be misleading:
"Last year, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) celebrated the 10th anniversary of their discovery,..."

I think Bob Young was also the proprietor of the late lamented Wimbleton Tavern, on De La Vina, once a signal live music venue in town for local bands in the '80s.
Great tribute, thanks A.L.

Is being a careless reader part and parcel of supporting the VMP and the Thin Green Line of Board supporters?
Here are answers to the questions you so desperately need, "markonic":
1. Yes, it's my real name.
2. No, I'm attacking the orchestrated response by VMP minions who reflexively attack anything less than full-throated support, usually without the courtesy of reading what is in front of them.
3. Yes, those are my weaknesses -- guilty as charged!
4. It's harder to criticize people who share the same opinion.
5. I still think the Director's -- and other executives -- salaries are excessive.

Well said, Kingprawn.
"contactjohn" doesn't know when he's bested, rather like the Black Knight in Monty Python's "Holy Grail."
'It's is but a scratch,'
'A scratch! Your arms off!'
'No it isn't!'
'Than what's that?!"
"I've had worse!'

Great reporting Chris.
A sad and cautionary tale well told.

Add another to the list, Kratatoa: the Board is rallying the foot soldiers!

"Reading these posts blows me away! Everyone who's got something against the garden seems to think it's just a local park for local neighbors to use. IT'S NOT A PARK. It's a botanical garden, and it happens to be one of the state's most precious collections of native plant species. Not just for neighbors to walk their dogs through, but for the entire country and world to look at and admire. If you want a neighborhood park, go to Skofield or Rocky Nook - they're less than a mile away. If you're annoyed that a botanic garden is operating in our neighborhood - GET OVER IT. It's been there longer than all of our houses have, and it's a resource for the whole world to enjoy."

Kratatoa, Roadrunner probably doesn't belong on your list of shame, as he resents Schneider's inflated salary.

You make this too easy, "contactjohn."
You are correct the autism rates in Amish communities in Pennsylvania are very low.
It also seems that 70% of the communities vaccinate as well.
"The idea that the Amish do not vaccinate their children is untrue,” says Dr. Kevin Strauss, MD, a pediatrician at the CSC. “We run a weekly vaccination clinic and it’s very busy.” He says Amish vaccinations rates are lower than the general population’s, but younger Amish are more likely to be vaccinated than older generations.
"Strauss also sees plenty of Amish children showing symptoms of autism. “Autism isn’t a diagnosis - it’s a description of behavior. We see autistic behaviors along with seizure disorders or mental retardation or a genetic disorder, where the autism is part of a more complicated clinical spectrum.” Fragile X syndrome and Retts is also common among the clinic’s patients."
So, "contactjohn" to help you read someone other than Dan Olmstead, here's some links for you:

By the way, "Jfitz," a 25,000 square foot garage is what most people would call an apartment building.
"25,000 square feet. That’s all. What’s the big deal? It’s equivalent to one of the Mission Canyon neighbors building a garage on their 1-acre property, and we give them no grief." -- Jfitz

That's very generous of you DonMcDermott, to find something else in "winddancer1562's" comment other than pig-ignorant, bigoted hatred.
