Episode Synopsis

Humanity went 200,000 years without genetically modifying a baby. Then some knucklehead went ahead and did it in 2018. Tyler perp-walks the baby-modifying science hooligans to the Overground firing squad. Joe adds how the original CRISPR patents are made commercially available by their respective institutions, as well as the therapeutic applications of the UNMC-co-invented EASI-CRISPR.  Featured Technology: https://www.broadinstitute.org/partnerships/office-strategic-alliances-and-partnering/information-about-licensing-crispr-genome-edi ; https://www.unemed.com/product/crispr-cas9-editing-tool Hosts: Charlie Litton (@charlielitton); Tyler Scherr (@dare2scherr); Joe Runge (@EntreprenurialW) Sponsor:  UNeMed (https://www.unemed.com); @UNeMed Music: Countdown to Myocardial Infarction, by Peter Gresser.
