Interview with Don C Reed We caught up with Don Reed to discuss some of the highlights and frustrations of his work as a patient advocate and why scientists in the field must learn to speak up for their research. Don C Reed has supported regenerative research ever since his son Roman became paralyzed in a college football accident in 1994. He sponsored California's Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Act, source of America's first state-funded embryonic stem cell research, and has been an integral part of numerous local, state and national efforts. A frequently published author, he received the National Press Award in 1996. A board member of the Proposition 71 campaign committee, Reed is a strong supporter of California's US$6 billion stem cell program. He currently serves as Vice President for Public Policy of the Americans for Cures Foundation.
采访唐·里德 我们采访了唐·里德，讨论了他作为患者权益倡导者的工作中的一些亮点和挫折，以及为什么该领域的科学家必须学会为自己的研究发声。自从他的儿子罗曼在 1994 年的一场大学橄榄球事故中瘫痪以来，唐·C·里德一直支持再生研究。他赞助了加州的罗曼·里德脊髓损伤研究法案，该法案是美国第一个由州政府资助的胚胎干细胞研究的来源，并一直是众多地方、州和国家努力的重要组成部分。作为一位经常发表作品的作家，他于 1996 年获得了国家新闻奖。里德是第 71 号提案运动委员会的董事会成员，他是加州 60 亿美元干细胞计划的坚定支持者。他目前担任美国治愈基金会公共政策副总裁。
