"Gene Scissors Changing the Future" Gwangju Science Museum Hosts Science School

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Is there a way to easily understand difficult scientific knowledge? On the 15th, the "Science School" will be held at the Imagination Hall of the National Gwangju Science Museum.

This lecture invites Dr. Sanghwa Lee, a principal researcher at the GIST High-Resolution Optical Technology Research Institute, to explore CRISPR gene-editing technology, which challenges the divine realm of creating life beyond biological cloning, and introduces the future society that life science technology will create.

Dr. Lee earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Sogang University and a master's and doctorate from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Seoul National University. His main research areas include the development of high-resolution microscopes, biomolecular dynamics, and CRISPR gene-editing.

The Science School allows on-site admission after online advance reservation on a first-come, first-served basis for 120 people, and anyone from children to adults can participate for free.

Various events also attract attention.

If you attend lectures every month and collect more than seven stamps, you will receive a special souvenir, and if you leave a review with a photo on the science museum's website event page, you will receive a mobile coupon.

Especially, starting this month, first-time participants or those who invite friends can earn double stamps.

The National Gwangju Science Museum and GIST have been holding the "Science School" every third Wednesday afternoon of the month.
