Description
Shobita and Jack discuss what responsibilities scientists and scientific institutions bear when research results—like DNA phenotyping or human germline gene editing—are used to morally dubious ends.

Jack interviews tech journalist Nicholas Carr, author of numerous books including Utopia is Creepy and Other Provocations (2017).Links discussed in the episode:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/business/china-dna-uighurs-xinjiang.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepagehttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602099/dont-be-evil-by-rana-foroohar/https://thebaffler.com/salvos/taming-tech-criticismhttp://www.nicholascarr.com/ and his blog here http://www.roughtype.com/https://andthentheresphysics.wordpress.com/2019/11/20/science-and-technology-studies-podcast/Transcript available at thereceivedwisdom.org
