Free screening of HUMAN NATURE, a provocative exploration of a genetic breakthrough called CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of scientists who discovered it, families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits.
Pre-film presentation by Dr. Dana Carroll, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah. Dr. Carroll is a member of the National Academy of Sciences recognized for his work in the area of genome editing
A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.
