What do fluorescent green tadpoles, insulin, and golden rice all have in common? They've all been genetically engineered! Have you ever wondered how genetic engineering works, what it can do, and what it means for the world? In this course, we'll start with the biological basics behind gene editing , then delve deeper into the specific methods used, like CRISPR- Cas9. At the end, we'll talk about applications (including glowing fish, and now even genetically modified humans) and whether the science that has been done and will continue to be done has been ethical.
