Phil: You said: "So when one hears grandiose quotes from a stem cell researcher in the funny papers (news media) one should question how much he really know about PD. Also keep in mind that he is hyping his research to get money." I am familiar with the process of applying for grants. The hyping you describe has no influence on the process of obtaining grant money. It is an arduous process of describing the expected results from the proposed research and then competing with other proposals in the same field. The proposals are peer reviewed. This process works most of the time but there is occasionally "Golden Fleece" which is not an ethical issue, however (for those old enough the phrase was coined by Senator Proxmire describing perceived abuses).
