Thank you for your post. The best talk on CRISPR that I ever heard was ~45 minutes about previous genome editing techniques -- TALENs, Zinc finger proteins, etc -- and ~15 minutes about how CRISPR simplifies the genome editing process. It very much paid tribute to past work while also showing the utility of recent developments (while also noting that CRISPR is useless without extensive knowledge from genomics).
