Scientists are rushing headlong into experimenting with gene editing technology. Eben Kirksey – one of the world’s most promising young anthropologists – is urging us to pause and consider “what makes us human?” in this provocative podcast.

Are some people taking the 'New Year, New Me' concept a little too far these days? Welcome to Science in Ten, where we summarise the science in under ten minutes. In this second episode, Claire chats about genome editing and how it is sparking legal and ethical debates. Learn about how biohackers are taking their genomes into their own hands and hear about the research which shocked the world in November 2018 - the birth of the first-ever CRISPR gene edited babies.
