The two scientists who discovered the CRISPR functions were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Congratulations!
Back in 2014 I wrote a piece on CRISPRS and Cancer but before that I had a chance to lecture on botany to my grandchildren's class, I believe it was third grade. I spoke of plants, gave them seed and at the end I told them about CRISPRS. Paralleling the Graduate and Plastics, I told these wide eyed Third Graders that their world would be with CRISPERS, forget plastic.
I often wonder if any took the bait. Perhaps today may awaken a few. So congrats to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna.
