CRISPR AMAScience AMA Series: I'm Paul Knoepfler, Professor at UC Davis. I do research with CRISPR on stem cells and brain tumors. CRISPR genetic modification of human embryos is making big news. Can we erase genetic diseases? Are designer babies or eugenics coming? I’d love to talk about stem cells too. AMA! (self.science)
