To All The Cells He has Loved Before
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas is boasting a new professorship named for Annie and Willie Nelson, the legendary red-bearded, pigtailed country musician. But the endowed chair is not in music. It's also not in acting, tax law, cannabis studies, or other disciplines in which Mr. Nelson has made a name for himself. Rather, it's a professorship in stem-cell studies. Mr. Nelson and his wife are being recognized for helping to raise $250,000 for the university's stem-cell program at a concert in March.
AP reports that Texas Southwestern researchers are excited about the prospect of receiving money in the name of Uncle Jessie.
