One giant step for stem cells / Historic moment as UCSF ships them out to researchers
Topic: Biology 3:15 pm EDT, Sep 18, 2002

"That's the dream, at least. For now, stem-cell science is mostly about getting one's hands on the right stuff. And so, late Monday afternoon, Firpo and research associates Nariman Nasser and Ryan Rodriguez pulled the first 10 tiny vials, each containing 10 million to 20 million stem cells, from vaults of liquid nitrogen in a nondescript UCSF laboratory.
They packed the vials into plastic foam containers of dry ice, two vials per container, and then into cardboard boxes, bound for researchers in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Boston and Worcester, Mass., and Bethesda, Md. "

UCSF is one of the universities I am applying to graduate school I might add:)
