Discovered just three years ago, CRISPR is sweeping through labs around the world and researchers are already using it to experiment on diseases like cancer and AIDS, engineer new sources of clean energy, and create hardier plants and animals with the goal of wiping out world hunger. This Salon gathers bioengineers and medical researchers to take a hard look at the monumental changes hovering on the horizon. The Big Ideas Series is supported in part by the John Templeton Foundation. Additional support provided by The Jackson Laboratory. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for all the latest from WSF.
