DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :Gene drive mosquitoes is a short documentary film that is beautifully shot in Uganda and explores Ugandan stakeholders’ hopes for gene drive mosquitoes – a radical new tool that offers a way to eliminate the mosquitoes that cause malaria. Uganda could be one of the first countries in the world to release this type of technology and malaria is the main cause of death in Uganda, so the stakes are high. The film builds on social science research at the University of Exeter and Makerere University in Uganda and shows the complexity of governing this technology. Following the film, Chris Opesen (Makerere University, Uganda) and Sarah Hartley (Exeter) will answer questions and facilitate discussion. Chris will also be available to talk about other global health topics he is working on. Funding to bring Chris to Exeter is from the Exeter’s Sub-Saharan Africa Partnership Development Fund. Film producers: Sarah Hartley and Tom Law (@tomlawsays).http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=13927
