A little closer to $100 million, but still far off

I ran across this link this morning.

It states "Korean scientists receive about 10 billion won a year" for stem cell research -- about the same amount that the University of Minnesota alone spends ($10 million). The implication is that the $10 million is for all forms of stem cell research, not just embryotic.

Remember, NIH funded $383 million for adult stem cell research last year, plus the 24.3 million for embryotic stem cell research, which still appears way ahead of funding levels of South Korea.

It's now the second day since I requested the source from the Business Week contributor for the figure of "$100 million annually" for Korean "embryotic stem-cell work".

Still no answer. Looks like another possible mislead? I'm also interested in finding out if Gil requested Carey's references to confirm the numbers.
