On this, the day of our family walking in the American Diabetes Association's Step Out to Stop Diabetes*, I wanted to post that a) I love him and b) Harvard is trying to CURE diabetes, and it's amazing: "With human embryonic stem cells as a starting point, the scientists were for the first time able to produce, in the kind of massive quantities needed for cell transplantation and pharmaceutical purposes, human insulin-producing beta cells equivalent in most every way to normally functioning beta cells...hopes to have human transplantation trials using the cells under way within a few years."
The dudes who are in charge of the research both have kids with Type 1 Diabetes. Amazing.
