I, Science Radio – 10 Dec 2018

This week, we discussed the emerging CRISPR twin study that was conducted by a maverick scientist including the ethical implications of this technology and the future of gene editing. We also talked about open science and open access publishing in light of the recent news on ‘Plan S’, a coordinated effort by top institutions to make the research they publish freely available. Next, we talked about the research efforts to make a Christmas tree that can retain its needles and discussed our own positions on the fake vs. real tree debate. Finally, we talked about some of the articles we are most looking forward to in the recently released I, Science Magazine.
