    I mean, I’ve worked with CRISPR in plant biology. It’s not really that much more complicated. It’s just much more effective.

      I suppose I shouldn’t really be that surprised. I’m an electrical engineer these days, and one thing I’ve noticed is that most things are all just the same core principles (eg V = I x R) but applied in slightly different ways.
