The Future of the Genomic Editing Revolution - Prof. George Church - CRISPR

[@yvang909]

So great to see Jennifer Doudna and George Church sharing their hard work in this talk and conversation!!!

[@markcaseon7136]

Genes that can give you beter memory, very strong bones, heat tolerance, radiation tolerance, pain tolerance. Very interesting stuff.

[@kellymartin3916]

@absolute bananas better spelling skills

[@boarding112]

Could this man look anymore like a 19th century scholar? I'm putting a large amount into ARKG btw. Fascinating stuff really and it'll be life changing when they can successfully achieve these things they have set out to do.

[@rhyothemisprinceps1617]

22:07 on minimizing off-target effects

[@alanmoore9734]

Can I make these? Rev 9:7 thru 9:10 - The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails.

Church gives a pretty good talk here. Didn't know he was vegan.

Talk starts at 3:10

[@Max0Effect]

He showed all his conflicts of interests for transparency. Never seen that before shows quite a bit of good faith.

[@LiberalsGettheBulletToo]

I didn't see the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation up there.

[@electricsheep7633]

Would it be possible to create a talking dog with adult human like intelligence?

[@kooshikoo6442]

It probably would be possible. It would be very bad for the dog though as she or he would be a person with equal intelligence, lacking rights and agency. And hands.

[@fightfannerd2078]

That won't happen

[@mid1chosen]

@1:04:00 if every cell of our genome has mutations has hence difference .then i think we have still a long way to go ...i think wgs and whole transcriptome and whole proteome and whole epigenome combined of every single cell....and then a supercomputer analysing that data ,...and then comparing it to other people of same race ....and then whole humanity will give the answers of "dna code".

[@rahulpaul2976]

Is it possible to change skin color by using crispr cas9 therapy??

[@hassanmostafa9856]

yes

[@trosati]

Excellent talk

[@brianstarr]

I'm all for turning off pain. Need a test subject?

[@markcaseon7136]

you can do that with alcohol. It is an anesthetic and sedative.

[@fightfannerd2078]

I like pain

Does this mean we can make beef in the lab by editing genes ? Is Celebrity meat made from unethical sources ?

[@nollypelobueno7589]

Thanks.

I don't think we have an option of not taking germs into space. We might try not taking mosquitos

[@lacy71x35]

How about EMPATHY or common sense!?

[@TheCD45]

I laughed hard when George said "...published in a high profile journal BioRxiv"

[@katiekat4457]

He says if I’m interested in why medical records are worth 20 times more than credit cards he’ll explain why. I don’t want to know why. I want to know how to steal and sell them. Credit card fraud wasn’t enough to risk jail but this sounds like it is....lol I’m just kidding.

[@lacy71x35]

Bravo to Nikola Tesla for being intelligent enough to destroy some of his discoveries/ inventions; knowing the evil it would eventually lead to, would outweigh the good!

[@business5368]

Horrifying that prof church knows so much about the technology, but his awareness of the political impact of gene editing as performed in the real world is: cure world hunger, go into space. We’re running headlong into the unknown

don't worry, humanimals are obsolete... sole purpose of our ridiculous stage is to create our successor before we reach the inevitable stage of self-destruction... guaranteed by ever increasing gap between DeepAnimal brain parts driving humanimals and their societies (that function the same way as millenia ago - politico-oligarchical predators living off the herd of mental herbivores dumbed down by mindfcuker class... using odl cults or modern nationalist or socialist religion), and all that power given to these 99% humanimals by Memetic Supercivilization Of Intelligence, living currently on humanimal substrate (though

why don't we use prisons? I'd imagine crime would be cut drastically if you ended up as this guys test subject

george church is wrong. computer will help us read out the brain, no it will not. this will help create algorythms this is wrong.

Why is he wrong?
