Jamie Metzl @ Norrsken Foundation, Stockholm shares his ideas on how biotech can accelerate safely and ethically at Leaps Talk #3. “Think like a futurist to fathom what is coming and how quickly it is going to get here, because the limit on what is possible is, in many cases, just our imagination.”

In his far-reaching talk drawn from his excellent book Hacking Darwin, Metzl paints a vivid picture of how exponential advances in genetic engineering could rapidly change the way we cure and prevent diseases, transform reproduction, and beyond.

How to bring forward our ethics and values to meet the level of advancement in technology and biosciences today? Jamie Metzl and Max Tegmark share their ideas on how biotech can accelerate safely and ethically, moderated by Elaine Weidman-Grunewald.

A collaboration with Norrsken Foundation.
