Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the semantic tools used by technological frontrunners to establish imaginaries in the light of the development of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
