Dissecting CRISPR Technology With Park City Local

Cool Science Radio talks with Lauren Strachan, Phd, a biologist living in Park City who has a passion for science education. In college she decided to pursue biology as a career after being transfixed by The Human Genome Project.  She earned her PhD in Neurobiology and Anatomy from the University of Utah, has worked in both academic and industry labs, as well as for non-profit science education projects like The Natural History of Genes and BioEyes. She's also vested in this community, running the science fair each year. She joins to give an update on CRISPR gene editing, and new stem cell technology.
