Nomadic Washington biochemist, retired physician

and artist Andy Miller will present a Cliff Note summary of the DNA code; the 'language of life'

which contains the instructions for building all carbon-based organisms.

A 15-minute Ted talk will follow, then group discussion on the ground breaking 2020 Nobel prize CRISPR research by Emanuelle Carpentier and Jennifer Doudna,

that harnesses the DNA code allowing Homo Sapien's to play "God" and write DNA code, repairing genetic diseases in individuals and potentially creating a genetically superior human race.
