We had Holger Puchta from @kit.edu here today.
He gave a fantastic and very entertaining #PlantScience talk about his pioneering journey in #PlantGenomeEditing, from the 1990s until today.
His new chromosome engineering breakthroughs are 🤯🤯🤯.

Have a look at the papers I'll link below, too.
Two computer screens. The right-hand screen shows Holger Puchta infront of a screen presenting his work. The left-hand screen shows his presentation. The Nobel Price medal is shown, portraits of Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, as well as a sketch showing the Cas9 enzyme cutting DNA. The slide is titled "A tsunami came over biology in 2012".
