#HeJiankui, un chercheur #chinois condamné pour avoir modifié #génétiquement des petites filles, se relance dans la recherche après avoir purgé sa peine https://www.rts.ch/info/monde/13659252-le-retour-dun-geneticien-controverse-questionne-la-communaute-scientifique.html

His earlier work, using CRISPR technology to alter the genetic makeup of human embryos, was condemned.

"[He Jiankui's] apparent return to science raises questions about whether researchers who engage in extreme misconduct should be accepted back into the scientific community, and how their subsequent work should be viewed."

Today I have some #goodnews. I am delighted to share that #MakePeopleBetter will be available for purchase on iTunes on December 13! My wonderful friends Cody Sheehy and Samira Kiani have spent the last 5 years carefully documenting the story of #HeJiankui's #genomic editing of twin babies Lulu and Nana, and the influence key leaders in the international #genetic engineering community had in He's actions. #bioethics and #scicomm in action.
