#BladeRunner is a SF classic, but how can we know if it’s representative of the treatment of genetics in popular culture? See how it compares w 409 SF films and TV shows w strong genetics content in “The End of Genetic Privacy in the Blade Runner Canon.” @ScienceJlit @kh_oliver

Our latest post is about the time that Roald Amundsen thought polar exploration could be achieved with polar bear sled teams!
