Can #CRISPR save the world? By 2050, there will be nine billion people on the planet. CRISPR, the revolutionary gene editing technology, could help usher in the next Green Revolution, allowing us to feed our ballooning population in a hotter, more crowded world. On Thursday, May 31, expert biologists and geneticists will sit down to explore the thorny issue of tinkering with nature to save it at our "Planting the Seeds, Seeding the Plants" program, sponsored by The Kavli Foundation. 🌱 Tickets: bit.ly/crisprseeds . . . . . #worldsciencefestival #wsf18 #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #events #tickets #crispr #dna #technology #greentech #earth #plants #veggies #geneticmodification #plants #earth #biology #nature #seeds #planting #kavli #science
