The San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper has named CGS as the "local hero" organization for 2005 in their special "Best of the Bay" issue of July 27. The article about CGS begins: "Oakland's Center for Genetics and Society made the news last year when it was one of the only liberal organizations to raise questions about California's stem cell initiative. Since then, the mainstream news media have started to recognize that many of the group's warnings were prescient. But stem cell research is just one narrow thread in the tangle of genetic technologies that the academics and activists who work at the center are monitoring."
