2002 Siebel Scholars Annual Conference summary
Held at Stanford University November 1 through November 2, 2002, the 2002 Siebel Scholars Annual Conference addressed two of today's most controversial issues: the future of stem cell research and the role of the state in regulating the economy. Each session offered interesting and compelling commentary.
The notable stem cell research speakers are distinguished by their contributions to the field. They included Dr. Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania; William Kristol, chairman of the Bioethics Project of the New Citizenship Project; and Dr. Irving Weissman, professor of cancer biology, cell and developmental biology at Stanford University.
The afternoon session on the role of the state in regulating the economy was a lively and heated discussion led by the Honorable Richard C. Breeden, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission; Floyd Kvamme, partner of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor; and Alice M. Rivlin, former vice chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board.
Charlie Rose, Emmy award-winning host of Charlie Rose and 60 Minutes II, moderated both panel discussions.
We would like to offer special thanks to both our respected guests and our distinguished panelists for sharing their unique perspectives and experiences with the group.
