AI synopsis
What people are saying
The discussions emphasize historical grievances about the recognition of prominent scientists like Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier compared to Eric Lander's portrayal. Phrases like 'the article has aged like milk left in the sun' and 'this was a significant oversight' highlight the critical tone regarding Lander’s interpretations. Many users express excitement about the broader implications of CRISPR while also pointing out the ethical considerations and competitive dynamics in science.
There is a notable division among the discussions, with criticism of Lander's article outweighing support, especially regarding his oversight of key contributors.
The discussions indicate a high level of curiosity, as many participants reference the historical context and implications of CRISPR technology.
Users delve deeply into the nuances of scientific credit and historical accuracy, often engaging in detailed critiques and sharing personal stories related to the topic.
While some see the article as significant, opinions vary on its overall impact, with many acknowledging its role in sparking discussions but also lamenting the shortcomings.
Abstract in brief
- CRISPR technology has revolutionized genome editing in eukaryotic cells, gaining significant attention and application in fields like biomedicine and agriculture.
- The development of CRISPR spans over two decades, beginning with the discovery of a unique microbial sequence and its evolution into a tool for genome engineering.
- This Perspective highlights the lesser-known history and the contributions of pioneering scientists, offering insights into the collaborative nature of scientific discovery.

Thanks Nicole! Fun story behind this one. Content was originally in another review we had been invited to write. But the journal didnt like any personal details of scientists. So we rolled it into another paper. Title was riff on "The Heroes of CRISPR" paper many had "feelings" about at the time.
