A tiny Colossal woolly mouse is the key to the de-extinction of a woolly mammoth? Uhm…say what? With seven edited genes, this tiny pioneer exhibits mammoth-like traits, including golden fur and cold resistance. Watch as Dr. Beth Shapiro explains how this breakthrough is a tiny step toward the de-extinction of the mammoth 🦣 #SXSW

Yeah! Cute little guys. I petted on at the Am Museum of Natural History (stuffed, alas). And look at this:

Sharing our Series C funding round, which makes Colossal the first Texas-based company valued over $10 billion 💪🦣🧬 Via @VentureBeat: “Our recent successes in creating the technologies necessary for our end-to-end de-extinction toolkit have been met with enthusiasm by the investor community. TWG Global and our other partners have been bullish in their desire to help us scale as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said CEO Colossal Ben Lamm, in a statement. “This funding will grow our team, support new technology development, expand our de-extinction species list, while continuing to allow us to carry forth our mission to make extinction a thing of the past.”

This is eugenics. As President of the American Genetics Association and a human, I reject this. We are better than this. cnn.com/2024/10/07/pol…

I’m pretty darn convincing.

@bonesandbugs Your talk does leave open the possibility for de-extinction of recently extinct dinosaurs like the Loch Ness monster though, right?

@bonesandbugs Sure, of course that is what you would want us to think while you build out Isla Nublar!
