Nature’s greatest invention could alter the course of history. A powerful new technology called CRISPR might eradicate all genetic disease. It might also let us rewrite our DNA, engineer our children, and alter life as we know it. Human Nature investigates the challenging ethical choices that could alter the future of humanity. The genetic revolution is here.

Human Nature has been nominated for three Emmy Awards, including for Outstanding Science & Technology Documentary.

Guests can hear from leading researchers and experts in this new series that is a partnership between the Long Center and The University of Texas at Austin College of Natural Sciences.

Each event will feature an in-person presentation and a science-themed documentary from Sandbox Films, the Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird, messy, brilliant way of navigating the world.
