Breakthroughs: Advancing the Way We Live
What do breakthroughs in humanity look like, from the genetic level to how we operate in society?
As science continually advances, yesterday’s limitations become today’s starting points. In this Talk, we’ll explore how breakthroughs in one field can be transferable to another, like how gene splicing makes it so fresh vegetables last weeks instead of days and how that same advancement is revolutionizing the medical world. Here, we’ll learn how these assorted advancements are changing the way we live, even if we don’t know it yet.
