Stem Cell Myth Buster - Research pioneer uses ‘Stem Cell for Dummies’ book to dispel misconceptions about stem cell research Watch a video of Larry Goldstein discussing his new book, "Stem Cells for Dummies" in which he seeks to dispel myths about stem cell research. Working on stem cell research is a lot like standing on a beach looking at an undiscovered continent: you can see mountain ranges, forests and rivers in the distance; you know great resources are awaiting on the horizon. But you need to explore to figure out the best path to get there. That's how Larry Goldstein, the director of UC San Diego's Stem Cell Program, explains what he and his colleagues on campus are trying to do. Recently, Goldstein took his role as a kind of spokesperson for stem cell research one step farther by becoming the co-author of "Stem Cells for Dummies." Goldstein will talk about the book at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the UCSD Bookstore. He also will sign books. "Stem Cells for Dummies," which hit bookstores in February, includes chapters designed to help readers understand the basics of stem cell science, its history, as well as stem cells' potential for curing disease and testing drugs.
