This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, join Mitch and Tom as they decode the world of genetic engineering and CRISPR before your eyes. As is the norm, the boys start off with some news of the world: What quantum discoveries have been made this week?! Then the boys crack on with gene editing and CRISPR! What is it in the first place? The boys take us through the technology that is CRISPR-Cas9 and how it works. Mitch then teaches us the history of the amazing technology and where it has come from. Tom circles back to how it works and certain ethical considerations regarding the use of gene editing on humans... specifically embryos. Lastly, Mitch and Tom debate some future applications of CRISPR in the medical and human enhancement field. Music: WhiteBatAudio.com
