You may have heard of CRISPR on the news, now it's time to discuss what all the fuss is about. We will explore different uses of CRISPR and how it will impact our lives in the short and long run, over 5 sessions. The technical explanations and discussions will be aimed at a general audience to ensure that everyone can be included. All discussions will be moderated by Danna Hargett, PhD. (Microbiology and Immunology) and associate member of the Institute for American Religious and Philosophical Thought.
