from Extreme Genes · host Extreme Genes

Fisher visits with Barry Fleig who took great exception to Chicago actually “losing” a cemetery. It was discovered when remains were being dug up during a construction project. Barry explains the history of the cemetery, what happened when the construction stopped, and tells of the records he has been able to assemble concerning the dead who were buried there. He also explains how and why we should be vigilant in our own communities when it comes to urban cemeteries.

Designer Genes: A Conversation about CRISPR Efrain C., Hope J., Maria R., Sanjay A.L. From Mendel to modern laboratories, genome-editing has fascinated the minds of many. Recently, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been a major advancement in genome editing. Though this newly discovered mechanism has shown the potential to cure life-threatening genetic problems, the novelty of it has caused some concerns over potential ethical violations.

Join Giles as he chews the fat with fellow foodies, scientists, and doctors.
