Our biology colloquium class feels as though stem cell research is an important topic. These survey results reveal the need for an easily-accessible educational medium through which undergraduate level students can discover the amazing world of stem cells. In an effort to address this need, this web page aims to present biological, ethical, and political issues surrounding stem cell research in the 21st century.
