Event Description:
In what some are calling a “Jurassic Park experiment,” a plan to release 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes in Florida has been approved for 2021. Groups have raised concerns about the consequences and scale of this project. How are these mosquitoes created, and what are impacts of this plan? Come join Yale’s International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition undergraduate team to learn more!
