On February 28 at 7:00 PM in Berlin, biologist and science communicator Alexander Panchin will give a lecture on genetic engineering💥
Alexander will openly discuss breakthroughs in genetic engineering and synthetic biology that are already raising questions about the boundaries of morality and humanity’s power over nature 🧬
During the lecture, you will learn:
— How scientists edit embryonic DNA and "rewrite" life.
— Where is the line between enhancing human genes and eugenics?
— Is resurrecting extinct species and creating "mirror life" a real possibility?
— How close are we to developing an artificial womb?
— Could human cloning move beyond the realm of science fiction?
Science has already changed our world, but how far are we willing to go?
Some say scientists are playing God. But what if, in some ways, science has already outplayed Him?
After the lecture:
— Q&A session (ask your most interesting questions!)
— Book signing session with the opportunity to purchase Alexander Panchin’s books
— Photo with the author – capture the moment with the person who knows what the future holds thanks to genetic engineering 😉
When: February 28 at 7:00 PM
Where: Forum Factory
The lecture will be in Russian.
