1 year and 1 week ago, I learned that twin girls called Lulu and Nana had been born—humanity’s first gene-edited babies.

At that time, @MMarchioneAP asked me and a few other experts to assess a manuscript written by JK about the twins. I read it, and I was horrified.

I won’t recount the circumstances under which @MMarchioneAP received the manuscript—it’s her story to tell, and she told it well at the #CRISPRStory session at #SciWri19 @ScienceWriting

@antonioregalado shared his story at the same session, too.
