    Why don't we watch laboratory shows like we do kitchen shows? I explore the parallels between the two places in my latest video for 's initiative! (Sponsored by Merck KGaA Darmstadt, Germany)

    Because there's no data release yet, that's kind of all I feel comfortable threading here, just the bare bones of what they say they have done. I have A LOT of questions. If you have questions too, and would be interested in me trying to answer them, leave them here.

    They say that they have done this in embryos for seven couples, and that one has resulted in a healthy pregnancy (of twins).

    I anticipate that news is going to be flying quickly over the next few days, so I would not be surprised if details change or are updated as more news comes out. There's also no published scientific article or data to review yet.

    A group in China is claiming to not only have successfully used CRISPR gene editing in embryos but to also have had those embryos result in a healthy pregnancy of twin girls. News is breaking quickly, but this article was a clear summary from earlier:

    This video is pretty old now, but I remember having fun making it mostly because I got to bust out how I memorized amino acids back in biochem. Tryptophan, turkeys, and thanksgiving naps:
