DNA is the blueprint for life: but what if we could edit this blueprint ourselves? We'll discuss how biologists can do just that, harnessing the power of an ancient bacterial immune system called CRISPR to rewrite genomes for applications ranging from research to medicine to energy.

Temperature can increase without bound (so far as people know), but 'strangely' there is a lower bound for temperature. How can we make sense of this? Well come find out!!! In this course, we will observe through reasonable analysis of ideal theoretical micro systems: Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Avogadro's law. These laws will then be pieced together into the beautiful ideal gas law equation. From this we will find Absolute Zero, and convince ourselves that there can be nothing with a lower temperature.
