Pandemic

Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge Dr. William Hurlbut, an adjunct professor of neurobiology at the Stanford Medical School in Stanford, California. Dr. Hurlbut was key in getting me invited to a conference at the University of California, Berkeley, to discuss the social dimensions of CRISPR. Participation in the conference opened my eyes to the promise of the gene-editing technology and to its perils, and was the origin of Pandemic.
