Science Of The Times

In this episode Tim and Syma talk to Adrian Woolfson about his new book, “On the Future of Species: Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence” in which he makes the case that we can now edit genomes and will soon be able to design new species.

These could help humanity eliminate disease and feed the world.
