We’re excited to have selected our third book club choice. After exciting books by Ed Yong and Siddhartha Mukherjee, we’re going to be reading “A Crack in Creation” by Jennifer Doudna and Samuel Sternberg. Dr. Sternberg, who is currently a professor at Columbia University, was a graduate student in Dr. Doudna’s lab. Doudna, who you probably all know, is an impressive researcher whose lab was a trailblazer for the engineering of CRISPR/Cas as a tool for genome engineering. This is going to be a great chance to explore the discovery of CRISPR from the viewpoint of two of the researchers who made all future discoveries possible.

Come join us for a great discussion and for a conversation about our hopes and fears for the future of CRISPR research.
