7、 in 2004 and 2005 where he reported to have succeeded in creating human embryonic stem cells by cloning.He was called the Pride of Korea in South Korea.On May 12,2006,Hwang was charged with embezzlement and bioethics law violations after it emerged much of his stem cell research had been faked.The K

12、access serve a larger audience,its estimated readership is 570,400 people.The major focus of the journal is publishing important original scientific research and research reviews,but Science also publishes science-related news,opinions on science policy and other matters of interest to scientists an

17、,including current affairs,science funding,business,scientific ethics and research breakthroughs.There are also sections on books and arts.The remainder of the journal consists mostly of research papers(articles or letters),which are often dense and highly technical.Because of strict limits on the l
