Science Night Out: Human Nature

A powerful new technology called CRISPR might eradicate all genetic disease. It might also let us rewrite our DNA, engineer our children, and alter life as we know it. “Human Nature” investigates the challenging ethical choices that could alter the future of humanity. “Human Nature” has been nominated for three Emmy Awards, including for Outstanding Science & Technology Documentary.

Molecular biosciences associate professor David Taylor will join a conversation after the film and take questions from the audience.

Each event in the Science Night Out series will feature an in-person presentation and a science-themed documentary from Sandbox Films, the Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird, messy, brilliant way of navigating the world.

Earlier events in this series included “Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know” on March 1 at the Texas Science Festival (Feb. 21-Mar. 6) and “The Arc of Oblivion.”
