How do we guarantee medical care for all? How should we distribute resources if our medical system is under stress? Is it possible to balance protecting our economy, our environment, and our populations? Physicians, scientists, politicians, and advocates work tirelessly to promote global health equity... but how? In this class, we’ll learn about how we can work towards achieving equal, accessible, and quality care for all.

In this class, we’ll learn about how evolution works, from mutations in DNA to natural selection, and explore these ideas through hands-on activities. We’ll also do a deep dive on modern gene editing and how it’s used in fields like agriculture and medicine. Finally, we’ll discuss ethical questions around gene therapy, editing embryos, and who gets access to these technologies.
