In this episode of STEM to Stern, hosts Chauntée and Jake discuss biotechnology – a rapidly evolving field that often flies under the radar. From 3D-printed organs to gene editing with CRISPR, this branch of science is revolutionizing medicine, genetics, and even the potential extension of human life.

But with groundbreaking advancements come ethical dilemmas. Should we edit genetic code to eliminate diseases? What are the risks of pushing the boundaries of biotechnology? And could cryogenic freezing really be a future reality?

Join us as we explore the future of genetic engineering, bioethics, and the role of emerging biotech in STEM education.
