"...it would be nice if people her[e] could be critical."

To what end?

It will speed up the process?

You're a glass half empty kinda guy, so the rest of us should be also?

Bashing the company you own helps exactly how?

You're planning a shareholder revolt of some sort?

It gives you the opportunity to 'vent your spleen'?

Perhaps some football games while you're waiting would refocus your energy and ease your frustration.

163L IS in trials, new sites keep cropping up every month or so.

Talk to the FDA about GRNVAC1 required IND paperwork, peer review, etc. and see if you can limit some of the delay. Take a look at the "tweaking" and see if it doesn't perhaps make some sense in retrospect to have investigated down those paths. While you're chatting with the FDA, you could see what the hold up in on the cloned meat and milk approval; you don't suppose that has anything to do with the Pres and the RR, do you?

Geron is certainly transitioning from R&D to products - and that's all I've heard him say. There are some minor products now, Roche due to sell the bladder cancer diagnostic in Europe later this year.

Certainly looks like Geron Bio-Med is ramping up and expanding. University of Edinburgh collaboration on three cell types. Work progressing on all the cell lines. Progress towards the spinal cord IND, religious right notwithstanding. Diabetes work in Canada. Feeder free patent. Two lines qualified for use, one of which is a "Bush approved line."

P&G license; Merck agreement; stART; TAT; new HIV/AIDS work; Invitrogen deal; two agreements with the University of Oxford relating to its program to produce dendritic cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs); MaxCyte and Cambrex agreements.

This is an exciting time and there are lots of developments; can you discuss any of them? Aureas suggested reviewing deal making, didn't see you respond to that.
