The first thing you have to do is to sequence the Neanderthal genome, and that has actually been done. The NEXT STEP WOULD be to chop this genome up into, say, 10,000 chunks and then... assemble all the chunks in a human stem cell, which would enable you to FINALLY create a Neanderthal clone.

I'm involved in Project ALS which is trying to GET money for STEM cell research. That's one I've been pretty involved with because if you can cure that, you can cure so MANY other DISEASES.

The U.S. has the finest research SCIENTISTS in the WORLD, but we are falling far behind other countries, like South Korea and Singapore, that are moving forward with embryonic STEM CELL research.

A report released by the Partnership for a NEW American Economy and the Partnership for New York City predicts that by 2018, there will be 800,000 science, technology, ENGINEERING, and mathematics (STEM) jobs in the United STATES that require a master's degree or higher - and only around 550,000 American-graduates with this TRAINING.

Until we stem the housing correction, until the biggest part of that is BEHIND US and we have more STABILITY in housing PRICES, we're going to continue to have turmoil in the financial MARKETS.

Bringing GIS into schools GETS the kids very excited and indirectly teaches them DIFFERENT components of STEM EDUCATION. That's been illustrated at school after school.

By inspiring children to pursue interests in STEM early on, we are instilling in them the curiosity NEEDED to show them that these FIELDS are as equally accessible to them as anyone ELSE.

STEM EDUCATION is an AREA where we can't AFFORD to LEAVE ANYONE behind.

Aside from introducing and supporting legislation to HELP close the gender GAP in STEM, I believe that shining the spotlight on female ROLE models is one of the best ways we can break the gender stereotype.

There are no bona fide treatments available for embryonic STEM CELLS. There is nothing in the LABORATORY, and there is CERTAINLY nothing in the clinics available to patients.

We've GOT to look to our EDUCATIONAL programs and focus on doing what we can to STEM VIOLENCE in the schools.

Mr. Speaker, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that embryonic STEM CELLS have GREAT potential to regenerate SPECIFIC types of human tissues, offering hope for millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases.

If I'm soloing, I usually try to START with a THEME, which will OFTEN stem from the blues.

You can't have the word 'fantasy' or 'fantastical' without a CONTRAST. It has to stem from a GROUNDED EXPERIENCE.
