Bringing it all together as panel discusses the global view on gene editing – how do investors, researchers, philanthropists and policy makers view the economic, cultural, ethical and legal aspects associated with gene editing? #Corteva #KeepGrowing #CRISPRcon2019

@DesireeHoving - Is there any current international governance structure that is functioning/adequate? Melinda Belisle - It's a negotiation; most countries have own laws and come to discussion knowing what laws they have, what they want and value. Those national interests can clash

It was really fun to talk today about the role of innovation in helping us adapt to climate change with Dan Rejto 🇺🇸🌎🍴 Jack Bobo and Dr. Sweta Chakraborty . I think the one thing we have learned from the climate crisis is the need to diversify our systems and approaches!
