Larry Lokey, the former editor of the Stanford Daily who gave $33 million to Stanford University for stem cell research, says that giving away the money is more exciting than owning a jet plane.
His gift is also part of the growing momentum for private giving for stem cell research. CIRM's requirement for hefty matching on its building grants is likely to stimulate the giving even more.

The president of the U of R says New York is one step closer to being a leader in stem cell research.
Part of Governor Spitzer's 120 billion dollar budget, unveiled last week, included major funding support for stem cell research. It's news the U of R has been waiting to hear.
President Joel Seligman to says, "It's a great endorsement of the outstanding health science we do in New York State."
Seligman has been one of the strongest advocates for stem cell research here in Rochester and across the state. He has joined with other university leaders in New York to encourage Governor Spitzer to support funding for stem cell research and based on last week’s budget proposal, the governor is listening.
He adds, "We run the risk if we don't move forward other states and countries are going to get ahead of us."
The governor is proposing 100 million dollars for stem cell research for this year, 500 million for future years. The money would be divided between stem cell research and emerging technologies. That means local researchers could get their funding faster.
