The Genetic Literacy Project fosters dialogue about the scientific, social and ethical implications of genetic technologies, human and agricultural. It respects the uncertainties inherent in science but is grounded in the conviction that genomic research is an engine of innovation and job creation. It is designed to help journalists, scientists and policymakers navigate the increasingly politicized arena of biotechnology, genetic engineering, CRISPR gene editing,medical genomics and related sciences, such as nanotechnology and epigenetics.
