and on a personal level 2012 was also the year that I moved to San Francisco to start a lab studying tea cells and how genetics influences te- cells. I was looking around and trying to figure out what my lab would do and all of a sudden I was arriving with a empty lab space at exactly the same moment that that the world was shown that te- cells could cure cancer and that we had a tool that could potentially rewrite DNA sequences and that we wouldn't be limited to these lentiviruses which are kind of clunky the best tools we had at the time but pretty clunky and non-precise in how they insert genetic material. All of a sudden, we could imagine that we could take tea cells and use crisper to actually pick individual places in the genome and make targeted changes to program exactly how cells behave.
