Emily Anthes, author of the book Frankenstein’s Cat: Cuddling Up to Biotech’s Brave New Beasts, recently participated in an “At Google” talk, discussing the book and animal biotechnology in general. Google has now made the talk available for all to view.
Google says in the video description, “In Frankenstein’s Cat: Cuddling Up to Biotech’s Brave New Beasts, Emily Anthes takes readers from Petri dish to pet store, exploring how the world’s fauna are being reinvented. She searches for the revolutionary breeds of beasts that are slowly taking their places in the world. What do these creatures look like? Who is behind creating them? What do these new scientific superpowers mean for animals? And what do the ways in which we’re choosing to shape animal bodies say about humans?”
The talk was recorded on June 5th.
