Jennifer Handler, Professor-Novelist

  • Summary

  • Happy Monday, Fabulous Listener!

    And Happy Veteran’s Day to all our listeners in the US. Thank you for your services! This evening, we have an amazing guest joining us today, the debut author, Ms. Jennifer Handler. We are going to be talking about her new book, KRISPR. This coming-of-age book will keep you hooked on the speculative science and the ongoing mystery behind it all.

    Jennifer Handler is a faculty member in The Department of Biology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She holds a BS in Molecular Genetics and PhD in Genetics. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in The Department of Neurosciences at The Cleveland Clinic and was a research associate in The Alzheimer’s Research Laboratory at The CWRU School of Medicine.

    Much of the story of KRISPR is her story. Handler was born and raised in Cleveland but spent time as a young researcher at the prestigious Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Raising her family in the Midwest, she accompanied her teen-aged daughter to New York City where she participated in an international modeling competition, and later moved her into her dorm at a university in Midtown Manhattan.

    As a professor, Handler has a real sense of what it’s like to be a college student in the 21st century. She also has the training and expertise to understand and make relatable technologies in genetics and neuroscience. Jennifer has experienced the heart-wrenching and devastating effects of Alzheimer’s Disease as she witnessed her dad suffer from it for several years prior to his passing.
