In this episode of the Xchange, we hear from George Church, a true pioneer of synthetic biology and genomics. George will share possible silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic, draw parallels between personalized medicine and personalized learning and explore what it means to really think outside of the box. A new virtual interview series from LabXchange at Harvard University, the Xchange showcases the diverse roles, projects, and initiatives that make up the intersecting fields of science, education, and health. Hosted by LabXchange Faculty Director Robert Lue, our first season features a range of perspectives on the impact of COVID-19.
