Engineering Human Genomes & Environments with Dr. George M. Church FORA.tv 2017-05-09 | Naturally occurring gene drive systems rig the inheritance game and cause some genes to be preferentially inherited, "driving" them out into the population. CRISPR gene-editing tools can be used to create a gene drive in the lab, enabling scientists to promote the inheritance of desired traits over undesirable ones. This opens up the possibility of using this technology to address urgent humanitarian problems, including the spread of insect-borne diseases like malaria, Lyme disease, and Zika. But the potential risks mean that it is crucial that officials develop and enforce safety protocols for employing this technology.Presented by Dr. George M. Church, Professor, Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Health Sciences & Technology, Harvard-MIT

Andrew Stern & Jason Furman FORA.tv 2017-03-27 | Imagine getting a check from the government every month. $600 guaranteed. It’s happening in Finland, where a pilot program is being launched to test what’s known as a “universal basic income.” As technology transforms the workplace, jobs and income will become less reliable. The idea is that a universal basic income could serve as a tool to combat poverty and uncertainty in a changing society, and provide a cushion that empowers workers, giving them latitude to take risks in the job market. But some argue a guaranteed income would take away the incentive to work, waste money on those who don’t need it, and come at the expense of effective programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Is the universal basic income the safety net of the future?
