Abstract
The wealthy California real estate financier behind the $3 billion state stem cell initiative has been appointed chairman of the board that will administer the state's bold new research program. Robert Klein II, who has a diabetic son, is a great choice, says stem cell researcher Evan Snyder of the Burnham Institute in La Jolla. “He's an enormously efficient organizer [and] knows the ins and outs of stem cell research,” he says.

The panel plans four community forums next month.
