"Genomic imaginaries" grapple with & help to construct notions of citizenship, humanity and belonging informed by #genomics.

@ELSIhub have what sounds like a fascinating panel coming up, with Lara Choksey and @lalarkin, moderated by Rebecca Wilbanks.

Striking results from the UK #CitizensAssembly on #Democracy just released by @ConUnit_UCL & @involveUK.

E.g. members say they're "disappointed with how democracy is working...because there are not enough ‘ordinary people’ in parliament & government"

Two years ago, Victoria Gray volunteered to become the first sickle cell patient in the US treated with #CRISPR gene-editing. Here she shares a really positive update on how the treatment has transformed her life since then.

"Every one of us will be shown to be subtly suboptimal."

A thought-provoking piece by @dandavis101, on the implications of genetic data becoming more accessible.

On "seeing like a citizen".

Don't miss @Boswell_JC's fascinating reflections on how being selected for a #CitizensAssembly upended many of his prior assumptions grounded in scholarship and having been an observer/facilitator/organiser of #minipublics.
