We can work on Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)

It has been the most recent breakthrough discovery in bioengineering that enables scientists to edit DNA. Because you have studied biology in this course, you have volunteered at your niece’s Middle School Science Club to monitor a student debate about CRISPR. The students will be watching the following video before the discussion:https://www.com/watch?time_continue=252&v=2pp17E4E-O8and you need toRead more about We can work on Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)[…]

We can work on Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) and tar sands (oil sands).

With society’s dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels, the oil & gas industry is turning to hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands to extract natural gas and oil. A friend asks you “What’s all this controversy in the news about fracking and tar sands?” Briefly explain to your friend how hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sandsRead more about We can work on Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) and tar sands (oil sands).[…]
