Please join us for an NABT exclusive webinar with Nobel Laureate Dr. Phil Sharp geared toward the NABT biology educator community to discuss the film Cracking the Code: Phil Sharp and the Biotech Revolution and the new Educator Toolkit with a variety of classroom activities. 
 
Cracking the Code, narrated by Mark Ruffalo, is an inspiring story of vision, perseverance, and the power of science to change the world. Phil Sharp’s journey from a Kentucky farm boy to Nobel laureate embodies the American Dream and the triumph of entrepreneurial spirit. His 1977 groundbreaking discovery of RNA splicing rewrote the rules of molecular biology and ignited a life-saving scientific revolution, laying the foundation for an industry that has become a cornerstone of global innovation and economic growth – and transformed the health of billions of patients worldwide.
 
Participants will receive a link to watch the film for free and are strongly encouraged to watch the film before the webinar. Webinar will include a discussion and Q&A moderated by Rebecca Brewer, 2026 recipient of the Ron Mardigian Biotechnology Award from NABT. Don't miss this rare opportunity to have a conversation with a Nobel prize winner!
