Dear Science w/ Allan Blackmans: October 14, 2020Wednesday, October 14, 2020
This week on Dear Science, Allan and Bronwyn follow up on last week's discussion of nobel prizes by talking about the prize in chemistry. This was awarded to Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier for the discovery of CRISPR, a method for gene-editing. They also speak about kiwi scientist Professor Roy Kerr who was a contemporary of Nobel prize winning Roger Penrose, who would have also been a worthy nominee.
