Moderator Sharon Begley leads a lively question and answer period on the ethical and moral implications of the use of CRISPR technology at the fifth annual New York Hall of Science Spring for STEM event. Discussions include questions on how do we protect ourselves from rogue scientists using CRISPR technology, the use of CRISPR to fight HIV, the need to protect the food chain, and the possible unintended consequences of CRISPR technology.
The New York Hall of Science
The New York Hall of Science, also known as NYSCI, is a science museum located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens. NYSCI was founded at the 1964–65 World’s Fair and has evolved into New York’s center for interactive science, serving a half million students, teachers, and families each year. NYSCI serves schools, families and underserved communities in the New York City area, offering informal, hands-on learning through various products and services that use the “design-make-play” method of bringing delight and play to educating Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
