CRISPRcon and Cornell Alliance for Science host happy hour conversations on gene editing

This free side event will feature a happy hour reception with food, drinks, and hosted discussion tables that inspire essential dialogue on a variety of topics related to societal considerations for CRISPR and gene editing across many applications.
