The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) has revised their popular booklet 'Stem Cells - Science and Ethics'. The resource is designed for 16+ students and includes up-to-date science together with consideration of the legal and ethical issues of research using stem cells.

Many CRM researchers contributed to the creation of this revised booklet:

• Dr Nina Bauer wrote the science chapter
• Dr Lesley Forrester, Dr Keisuke Kaji and Dr Anna Williams provided case study material
• Dr Clare Blackburn and CRM's communications officer Ingrid Heersche reviewed the content of the booklet
• Dr Sally Lowell, Dr Lesley Forrester, Dr Keisuke Kaji and Dr Anna Williams provided some of the science pictures

You can download a copy or order a hard copy from BBSRC's website.

The revision of the booklet was co-ordinated by Dr Jan Barfoot from Edinburgh University's Scottish Initiative for Biotechnology Education (SIBE).
