Totally Baseless Speculation

We still have not heard from the California stem cell agency about whether Spencer Stuart, the executive search firm whose contract expired two months ago, is still looking for a permanent president for CIRM.

Our request for this routine bit of information is now 13 days old. But there is other news on the presidential front, whose office was expected to be filled by June ("Looking for a New CEO" July 20).

The CIRM search committee has scheduled a meeting for Monday. The public agenda, as usual, gives no indication of whether anything important is likely to occur. However, the meeting comes just a few days before the full Oversight Committee session scheduled for Friday.

Totally baseless speculation could lead one to wonder whether the timing is coincidental. Could a CEO announcement be made next week? But, as we said, that is totally baseless speculation.
