Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we discuss the resurgence of He Jiankui on the Twitter trends, the research that made CRISPR a Nobel-worthy discovery, and the various reasons why scientists don't go around gene-editing human embryos to create super species.
Readings:
Scientist who gene-edited babies is back in lab and ‘proud’ of past work despite jailing
China to begin first in-human CRISPR trial next month
CRISPR genome editing gets 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
He Jiankui’s tweet
CCR5 is a suppressor for cortical plasticity and hippocampal learning and memory
