Suds and Science: Genetic Engineering
Can genetic engineering cure AIDS or cancer? Will we be able to manufacture the "Youth Gene"? Will human cloning be possible?
Join Curt Becker as he discusses the future of genetic engineering, its benefits, and its challenges.
It’s not a scientific mystery that learning is more fun when you’re drinking with friends and colleagues. And thus, the idea for Suds & Science was born: monthly events that bring scientists face-to-face with the general public in a neighborhood bar. The evening begins with a short fun-yet-informative presentation, which kicks off an extended discussion between the scientist and the audience — all while the audience drinks along. You can learn about everything from the science of beer to superhero physics to the genius of genomes.
