Ask a Scientist
We connect students and teachers looking for expert input or interviews with knowledgeable scientists.
Our Program
Have you read a lot about CRISPR but still have questions? Want to hear about the latest research and discuss fascinating ethical questions directly with an expert? Talk to a scientist! Students, teachers, parents, and curious members of the public are invited to our "Ask a Scientist" program. Submit a request below and an IGI representative will follow up within a week.
We specialize in CRISPR genome editing, but can also provide perspective on what it's like to be a scientist doing laboratory research. This program is primarily intended to benefit elementary, middle, high school, and college students, but we also encourage questions from the public.
Please note that we do not provide scientific or medical advice, do not consult on professional research projects, and reserve the right to reject any request.
