Hi Sarah,

What are your thoughts on GeneSmith's adult-brain intelligence enhancement proposal?

Thanks for this wonderful overview, Sarah.

Any thoughts on MOBE (multiplexed orthogonal base editors) - useful new approach or variation on a theme?

I don't really know how to compare it to other multiplexed base editing methods; this article says it reduces "crosstalk", https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240521124304.htm unwanted edits due to multiple RNAs interacting. without being deep into this field I just assume there's a lot of different methods out there and I don't (yet) feel prepared to pick a winner.
