So far in Life Lab, we\u2019ve uncovered the power of synthetic biology. But with great power comes great responsibility! In this episode, we\u2019ll ask \u201cIs this a good idea?\u201d when it comes to changing the DNA of mosquitoes to fight a deadly virus.\n\nThis episode features Dr. Sam Weiss Evans and his 8 year old daughter, Izzy Weiss Evans.\n\nHear more from Sam about modified mosquitoes and making decisions about science, in our bonus interview episode! They\u2019re available to Tumble Patrons who pledge just a dollar or more a month, on patreon.com/tumblepodcast.\n\nYou can find a transcript and other educational materials about this episode on the blog on our website, sciencepodcastforkids.com.\n\nLife Lab is supported by the Engineering Biology Research Consortium, a non-profit committed to educating the next-generation and building a community dedicated to solving big challenges with engineering biology.
