Join us at the MIT Museum on June 12 for a special screening of LIFE RECOMBINED as part of “Existential Risk, Emerging Technology, and Democracy: The Cambridge Recombinant DNA Debate, 50 Years On”
Marking fifty years since the 1976 Cambridge recombinant DNA debate, this symposium convenes historians, scientists, policymakers, and journalists. Together, they will examine how emerging technologies have been identified, debated, and governed, from the recombinant DNA discussions of the 1970s to current conversations around AI and synthetic biology.

We’re excited to premiere LIFE RECOMBINED: The Story of Recombinant DNA.
In the early 1970s, Janet Mertz and Nobel Laureate Paul Berg helped unlock a radical new possibility: combining DNA from different organisms for the first time. But with that breakthrough came an urgent question — should scientists move forward before understanding the risks?
This is the story of the experiments that ignited global debate and led to the landmark Asilomar Conference, and of the scientific breakthroughs that would ultimately power the rise of modern biotechnology.
