Famed geneticist Rusty Gage named interim president of troubled Salk Institute

quote [ Rusty Gage, the geneticist who upended science by proving that humans can generate new brain cells during adulthood, has been appointed interim president of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, which has been shaken by gender discrimination lawsuits filed by its faculty.

Gage, 67, is stepping in for Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, who recently made the unexpected announcement that she will retire as Salk’s president during late summer. Blackburn, who took the job two years ago, assumes the title of president emerita. ]

Regardless of who they get to permanently fill the position, it is going to be a huge challenge for in light of recent goings on there.

Say what you want, it's impossible to get a sammich in the cafeteria at the Salk Institute.
