Intrigued by @AarthiVadde's paper at @ASAP_artsNOW last weekend. She showed how CC licenses enshrine the principle of authorial rights as property. Requiring attribution maintains property rights, even as it enables free distribution.

#BladeRunner is a SF classic, but how can we know if it’s representative of the treatment of genetics in popular culture? See how it compares w 409 SF films and TV shows w strong genetics content in “The End of Genetic Privacy in the Blade Runner Canon.” @ScienceJlit @kh_oliver
