Life After Extinction: Bringing Woolly Mammoths Back Via Artificial Wombs

from Core Memory · host Ashlee Vance

Fresh off closing a $200 million funding round, Ben Lamm from Colossal Biosciences - now valued at more than $10 billion - joins Core Memory - now valued at less than $10 billion - to talk about bringing extinct animals back to our fair planet. The company has set to work on woolly mammoths, the dodo bird, and the thylacine (aka Tasmanian Tiger) in its effort to restore animals and ecosystems. To pull this off, Colossal must develop a host of gene editing technologies and artificial wombs, and we get into all this beautiful science. It’s cool and bonkers and controversial - the holy pod trinity. This is a public episode.
