CRISPR in Context: The New World of Human Genetic Engineering | 2019
CRISPR in Context: The New World of Human Genetic Engineering | 2019 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 21 Views • 5 years ago

It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered with the powerful DNA-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 have been born to a woman in China. Their altered genes will be passed to their children, and their children’s children. Join CRISPR’s co-discoverer, microbiologist Jennifer Doudna, as we explore the perils and the promise of this powerful technology. It is not the first time human ingenuity has created something capable of doing us great good and great harm. Are we up to the challenge of guiding how CRISPR will shape the future?

PARTICIPANTS: Jennifer Doudna, Jamie Metzl, William Hurlbut

MODERATOR: Guy McKhann

#LakeTurkanaFish #TheChamwadaReport
Lake Turkana is the largest desert lake in the world, it measures about 249 km long by an average width of 30 km but 48 km at its widest; it is 35m deep.
The lake is endowed with humble resources of fish on the eastern side that has always been a source of livelihoods for communities living along this lake.
The sector is contributing to improvement of livelihoods and because of simple and affordable technologies harvesting, handling and distribution has been made easier
