    Finally some news about the first human trial.

    The part about them not issuing regular progress reports since day 1 (a month or so ago) is, how these doctors put it, concerning.

    Apart from that, I think jumping from monkeys to human experiments when the success rate is low feels either rush work or some high person in charge decided to go all-or-nothing.
