Alright well training is going a bit slow this week, but I'm trudging ahead with a hill run tonight. In the world of genetics there is some AWESOME news. It was reported in Bloomberg News and a number of science journals that there is a new stem cell method that doesn't need to destroy an embryo. Scientists were able to take skin cells and create a heart, brain, muscle, fat and cartilage cells. If they can further hone this strategy, cures for diseases such Huntington's are not off the mark. I attached the NY Times article to this. Check it out here.
Also, I spoke to the president of the HDSA NY, and he mentioned they have a major bowling fundraiser coming up in January. I unfortunately can't run in their 10K in Poughkeepsie as I'll be running another race on T-day morning. I also mentioned to him, my Woody Guthrie fundraising idea, and hopefully that can come to fruition within the next couple months. Now to round up some awesome local artists. Stay tuned.
