Genome engineering hybrid symposia: Bridging the gap between experts and enthusiasts
Genetics Society of America | Genes to Genomes
by Editorial Staff
1d ago
Advances in genome engineering are of broad interest (e.g., 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry); however, since they occur at a rapid pace, it’s difficult for scientists to stay up to date. Attending conferences is crucial for learning about cutting-edge advances, but accessibility barriers such as travel and registration costs exist. Additionally, while principal investigators are typically invited to give talks, the first author scientists who carry out the research are better suited to answer technical questions and would greatly benefit from presenting their work. A presentation at the genome ..read more
