It is not easy for a stem cell
scientist to break into “print” in that bastion of American
capitalism, Forbes<\/b> magazine. Much less one from that perceived
antithesis of free enterprise, Reed College.
<\/b><\/div>
<\/div>
But researcher Paul Knoepfler<\/b> of UC
Davis<\/b> has done just that<\/a>.<\/div>
<\/div>
John Farrell <\/b>of Forbes wrote about Knoepfler on
Friday in the wake of the announcement Knoepfler will be honored with
a “national advocacy” award <\/a>by the Genetics Policy Institute.

Paul Knoepfler -- Advocate for a \"new ethos\"

<\/div>
Knoepfler, who received a degree in
English literature from Reed in 1989, is being recognized for his
activities as a stem cell blogger<\/a> since 2009.<\/div>
<\/div>
Farrell quoted Knoepfler as saying in
an email,<\/div>

“With many stumbles, face plants,
land mines, and even a few threats of litigation and career
retaliation along the way for the last three and half a years, I
turned my crazy idea into a reality.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

Farrell continued,<\/div>

“But it was only possible,
(Knoepfler) added, with guidance from many patient advocates and
bloggers in other fields who generously helped him learn the ropes of
blogging.<\/p><\/blockquote>

“'I see this award as a validation of
the notion that advocacy by scientists has become a valued part of
the stem cell field,' he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>

“'My hope is to catalyze a continuing
paradigm shift whereby stem cell scientists and biomedical scientists
more generally have a new ethos that not just accepts, but also
deeply values advocacy.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>
