Alta Charo gave a plenary talk in February, following the release of the groundbreaking National Academies report she co-authored with Richard Hynes, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The talk outlined the evolution of thinking about heritable germline genetic engineering. She also co-wrote an editorial on that topic for the journal Science, titled "Evolving Policy with Science." And in January, she presented an overview of the regulatory and ethical challenges of genetic engineering--for humans, animals and the environment--at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories.
