Woo Suk Hwang is one of the more disgraced scientists of our times. First, he admitted to using his graduate students’ eggs in an attempt to create a stem cell line from a human embryo. Then he admitted that he’d actually faked his research. But for some reason, as Nature reports, some people in far-flung nations still wanted to work with him. It turns out that he’d been trying to get together a nine-figure biotech research facility in the country. Something’s weird here, and we expect to hear more soon. Now, in the latest twist of the Hwang tale, Korean media is reporting that Libya was trying to nail down a W153 billion (US$1=W1,127) collaboration with Hwang. According to the Korea Times, Hwang traveled to Libya on 10 February to discuss the collaboration. According to Yonhap news, Hwang has traveled there some 10 times since 2004 and received a retainer of 600,000 euros for collaborating on stem cell research aimed at incurable diseases. The current deal was supposed to include a research center in Libya and the transfer of cloning-related technology from Hwang. According to the Chosun Ilbo, Hyun Sang-hwan, who directs the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation founded by Hwang, Hwang was to sign a collaborative agreement with a company called DANA Bioscience and Medical Service recently established by Libya. The signing was reportedly canceled and the agreement thrown into jeopardy by the protests there. Reporters spotted Hwang at the Tripoli airport, one of 198 being evacuated by the Korean government. No doubt this is not the end of the story. Read the full story at Nature .

Dan Lyons, a technology writer who made a name for himself by maintaining the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs blog for many years, is hanging up his hat; he’s called it quits. In a moving post on The Daily Beast, Lyons wrote that, with Jobs on an indefinite medical leave from Apple’s day-to-day operations, it’s time to respect his privacy. As for me, well, I’m sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to snoop around about Jobs and his health. I know his old partner and friend, Steve Wozniak. And I just can’t bring myself to call Woz and ask him what he knows. I’m sorry. I know a surgeon who has worked at Stanford Medical Center, where Steve Jobs has received a great deal of his medical treatment. But I won’t ask her what she’s heard. For one thing, she won’t tell me. For another, all the hot showers in the world could not wash that stink off me. I won’t ask my friends who work at Apple what they know. I’ve never asked them for any inside information about Apple. We’re friends. I respect that. They don’t know what’s wrong with their boss. They’re just feeling awful. I know the feeling. Today I’m feeling awful, too. Read the full story at The Daily Beast .
