This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski.

On October 7th, Jennifer Dowdna and Emmanuel Charpentier shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

for the development of the gene editing tool called CRISPR.

Last April, I spoke with Dowdna at an event in Washington, D.C.

A few months ago, I was at a talk about wine, and CRISPR came up.

And it was an appropriate thing to bring up.

What is it like to be in this field right now where everyone is talking about the work that you do and its implications?

Well, I have to say it's very exciting and it's, as a scientist, wonderful to see all the

creative work that's going on with gene editing.

It's just a fascinating opportunity to see the innovation that people come up with when they

have a tool that's so broadly

useful across biology.

You do a million interviews and you make a lot of public talks.

What do people not talk to you about that you would love to talk about regarding CRISPR?

Well, I think a lot of the discussion around CRISPR

right now focuses on biomedical applications, which clearly are very exciting. I think something

that I don't hear as much, although I'm happy to hear that you have this conversation at a wine
