So happy to see my previous mentor @Laura_RiceU (who is the reason I’m so excited about synthetic biology and protein engineering) give a fantastic talk on what the lab has been doing with our nanobody based protein degradation system @RiceCHBE@Rice_BIOE#msbw6
Together with NIH, I share deep concerns abt the recent claim of the first gene-edited babies born in China. International ethical norms were blatantly disregarded. Vulnerable children and families deserve better. https://t.co/UBs8XkE434
