Kick off the school year with BLOT at our fall screening of Cracking the Code: Phil Sharp and the Biotech Revolution!

This documentary follows Phil Sharp's extraordinary journey from a rural Kentucky farm boy who overcame dyslexia to Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Narrated by Mark Ruffalo with commentary from historian Walter Isaacson, the film explores how Sharp's landmark RNA discovery transformed modern biology and sparked the biotechnology revolution that has since saved millions of lives.

Whether you're passionate about biotech, curious about the science behind today's biggest breakthroughs, or just looking to connect with fellow future leaders in the field — this is the perfect way to start the semester.
