i started talking to synthetic biologists 6 or 7 years ago, and they were almost all concerned there'd be a massive backlash once the press discovered gene drives. the whole field of study could be jeopardized. turns out... people *really* hate mosquitoes.https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/health/genetically-engineered-mosquitoes-gmo-florida-scn-wellness/index.html …

This is so fucked tbh... Thanks Trump for giving us a third world regulatory environment (aka none)
i think complaining about technology like this is a lot easier when you have the privilege not to worry about things like zika or malaria

did people have this kind of information when we cured polio? mainstreamed penicillin? what about when we eradicated malaria from the US with the use of modern-day bogeymen like deet? eradicating disease is a good thing imo.
