Interesting article about an announcement in relation to the gene editing technique(s) known as CRISPR.

Today, we talk about the much-awaited CRISPR-based drug Casgevy, discuss the new Gavi initiative that plans to dramatically ramp up vaccine manufacturing in Africa, and more. Have a nice weekend!

Also, wonderful that Africa can lead the way on this, too.

This is the next Scismic Webinar

You gain additional technical skills and increased research independence during a postdoc. These can help you in non-academic employment, if you know how to pitch your experience. This workshop will help you identify the best qualifications you bring from your postdoc position to a new role, and how to effectively communicate these throughout the job search process.
