Today we're bringing you a special episode of KUOW's newest podcast Pocket Science.

Pocket Science explores the weird and groundbreaking work scientists are doing right in our Pacific Northwest backyard.

This episode is about gene editting.

It’s a mystery scientists have cracked to stop genetic mutations and cure diseases.

But there remains a massive accessibility issue for most people.

For example, over a hundred people have been cured of sickle cell anemia, but over 8 million people still have it.

Pocket Science host Gabriel Spitzer takes us to a lab in Seattle trying to make gene editing less expensive and time consuming for the people who need it.

As a new mom, juggling new identities, Jenna Hanchard began to wonder, “how do I come home to myself?”

That question became a creative spark that eventually led to her new film, "To Dress a Wound." Hanchard spoke with KUOW's Jeannie Yandel about how her process began after the birth of her second child...with writing poetry.

You can see Jenna Hanchard’s film, "To Dress a Wound," at Northwest Film Forum on Capitol Hill September 23 and 26. It premieres with the Local Sightings Film Festival, which features films and filmmakers from the Pacific Northwest.

Jenna will be at the September 23 screening for a Q&A.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from newsrooms across Washington…

First, an unusual wildfire recovery organization arrived in Spokane this past weekend. The Alta Heritage Foundation helps people recover their cremated loved ones from homes destroyed by wildfires.

Next, it's back to school season. That means many high school juniors and seniors are starting to think about college. But a maritime trade program in Clark County, Washington is charting a different course. 

And finally, Dolly Parton had a direct philanthropic impact on our region… Her Imagination Library serves millions of children nationwide, including around 85-thousand in Washington state.
