Her work navigates the technical, ecological, and ethical complexity of gene-editing applications designed to impact wild species, such as CRISPR-edited mosquitos to prevent malaria transmission, genetic strategies to eliminate invasive species, or the use of CRISPR gene-editing to promote species resiliency to changing climates.  In this podcast episode, Natalie sheds light on what role gene-editing can play in environmental conservation; what the ethics and moralities are of changing the DNA of nonhuman species; why inclusivity is vital in the development and application of gene-editing technologies; and more.   Episode notes: www.greendreamer.com/170 Weekly solutions-based news: www.greendreamer.com/subscribe Support the show: www.greendreamer.com/support  Instagram: www.instagram.com/greendreamerpodcast","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/exVkMkHLl0fC1ul1m6wXBTqkKxXXxLrirosp7PuJLTs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZTJl/ODJmOWJhMTUzNTc4/Yjg5OWNiMTA5YWEy/ZWY4ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
