frank language notes that scientists have created a pig that glows green under ultraviolet light. This will somehow boost stem cell research, though the article doesn’t say how. Since the interweb’s supposed to liberate the “citizen journalist,” let’s help the newswires with our own theories as to how injecting the genetic material from a jellyfish into the womb of a pregnant sow could be helpful to anything. Personally, I suspect researchers are using “stem cell” to get some more research money, the same way interweb startups use “community driven AJAX-enabled monetized content” to get VC funding.
