premiere of <em class="">From Controversy to Cure</em></a>, a documentary film from MIT Video Productions (MVP) chronicling the biotech boom in Cambridge, as part of its Science on Screen series. The film will then become available to stream for free anytime.<br class="">
<br class="">
Following the screening, there will be a special <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG2NRCHCECA&feature=emb_title&utm_source=Unknown+List&utm_campaign=b82c5a9806-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_08_10_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-b82c5a9806-" target="_blank" class="" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 137);">virtual
Q&A panel</a> moderated by Antonio Regalado, senior editor for biomedicine at <em class="">MIT Technology Review</em>, on <strong class="">Tuesday, August 25 at 8pm ET</strong>. The panel will include director and MVP Senior Producer Joe McMaster, alongside
some of the notable Kendall Square scientists featured in the film, including: </span>

<span class="" style=""><em class="">From Controversy to Cure</em> offers an insider’s look at the contentious debate about genetic engineering that erupted in the city of Cambridge in the summer of 1976, bitterly dividing both the science community and local
residents. Learn how an unlikely mix of science and engineering, politics, the space race, and urban renewal transformed Kendall Square into one of the world’s most extraordinary innovation clusters—a community now on the front lines of the battle against
Covid-19. <a href="https://www.controversytocure.mit.edu/?utm_source=Unknown+List&utm_campaign=b82c5a9806-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_08_10_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-b82c5a9806-" target="_blank" class="" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 137);">Learn more on the
