Want to learn about gene-editing? Wondering why you should care? Well, if you’ve been hearing all the buzz about cutting-edge research efforts for cancer and disease treatment, or the controversial possibilities of creating designer babies and are curious about the technology that is making it all a reality—you’ve come to the right place! CRISPR gets down to the very element encoding us, the DNA we carry in our cells, in order to change it and modify the organism, allowing for a host of applications researchers are keen to create. We’ll take you through the entire process and relevance of modifying DNA and then do deep dives into how the CRISPR system operates. You will learn about how we discovered CRISPR and even where we’re heading with the technology.

MIT MUNC is a very happening student group that organises Model UN conferences for high school kids in the US as well as China. Our other goal is to increase awareness among the public about what MUN is, what benefits one can get if they participate in MUNs, and how enjoyable the whole experience is. Along with informing you guys about these aspects, we will also do a real debate in class after going through some basic MUN procedures on a fun topic. Hope you are hyped!

How many of you know that there is more to science than just memorizing facts and formulas to write down in an exam? Join me as I take you through an exciting journey into one of my favorite areas of science which deals with molecules and compounds; Yes you're right, It's CHEMISTRY. Each element of the periodic table carries along with it a whole backpack of mind-blowing history and applications which I'll try to present to you in an entertaining manner.
