On the evening of Oct. 10, 2006, Dennis DeGray’s mind was nearly severed from his body. After a day of fishing, he returned to his home in Pacific Grove, Calif., and realized he had not yet taken out the trash or recycling. It was raining fairly hard, so he decided to sprint from his doorstep to the garbage cans outside with a bag in each hand. As he was running, he slipped on a patch of black mold beneath some oak trees, landed hard on his chin, and snapped his neck between his second and third vertebrae.

Ten years ago this week, Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues published the results of a test-tube experiment on bacterial genes. When the study came out in the journal Science on June 28, 2012, it did not make headline news. In fact, over the next few weeks, it did not make any news at all.
TECHNOLOGY
The cryptocurrency exchange Kraken this month released a 31-page document to its 3,200 employees that purported to describe the company’s values.

He characterized his beliefs as “libertarian,” a political philosophy that emphasizes a commitment to the protection of individual liberty. Mr. Powell also vowed that Kraken was committed to supporting a “diversity of thought.”
