Re-Writing the Genetic Code RE-WRITING THE GENETIC CODE: AN EXPLORATION OF FRAMING, SOURCES, AND HYPE IN MEDIA COVERAGE OF CRISPR by Darryn Jayne McCauley A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the University of Delaware in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Spring 2019 © 2019 Darryn Jayne McCauley All Rights Reserved RE-WRITING THE GENETIC CODE: AN EXPLORATION OF FRAMING, SOURCES, AND HYPE IN MEDIA COVERAGE OF CRISPR by Darryn Jayne McCauley Approved: __________________________________________________________ Paul R. Brewer, Ph.D. Professor in charge of thesis on behalf of the Advisory Committee Approved: __________________________________________________________ Kami Silk, Ph.D. Chair of the Department of Communication Approved: __________________________________________________________ John Pelesko, Ph.D. Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Approved: __________________________________________________________ Douglas J. Doren, Ph.D. Interim Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a thesis is hard work, and I have a great deal of people to thank for the help, patience, and support that has kept me going. First, thank you to Dr. Paul Brewer, the chairman of my committee – this project would not have been possible without your patience, guidance, and thoughtful input. Your knowledge and expertise helped me grow my project from the ground up, and for that I am incredibly grateful. Thank you, also, to the rest of my committee: Dr. James Angelini and Dr. Danielle Catona. Your help, from our very first meeting, nurtured this project and gave me a solid foundation for success; I am grateful for both your time and wisdom. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their constant love and compassion. Your ability to cope with my outbursts of deadline stress, mid-project anxiety, and general senioritis made this project possible, and I am so glad you listened to my stress-driven rants, even though you might not have understood what exactly, I was so stressed about. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES

That chunk of DNA, known as Crispr, has become an invaluable tool for genetic editing, with its use by scientists quickly overtaking both other common gene-editing technologies. Innovations using Crispr, from modifying mosquitos to prevent malaria, to creating drought-resistant crops, to the birth of the very first edited babies – twins – in late 2018, have made headlines in news outlets around the world.

  • "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 (Revised) 5 Rare Interior Photos of The International Theater added on page 64 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.
