Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently.
-- as mentioned in Futurehype: The Myths of Technology Change (2009) by Robert B. Seidensticker

We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics. Everything is physics and math.

Today on World CRISPR Day, we would like to highlight our two chemistry laureates Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier.
In 2012, they developed a method for high-precision gene editing, which has transformed the field of biotechnology and medicine. The genetic scissors became known as CRISPR/Cas9. In 2020 their breakthrough was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Watch this interview of Doudna explaining how CRISPR has evolved since then: bit.ly/3U5DTNQ
