Optimism indeed! You can now watch @RyanPhelan6 speak at TEDMonterey 2021 where she makes an inspiring case for #conservation, #geneticrescue and #intendedconsequences. Let’s work towards the future we want.

We joined our Xerces Wild Genomes project partners and friends @presidiosf @calacademy @natureinthecity for a field trip to Presidio dune restoration sites this week! Here, a replacement species of the extinct Xerces butterfly is to be released, informed by genomic insights.

We present "Intended Consequences" at a time when organizations around the world are calling for climate and ecosystem action. The #IntendedConsequences special issue in @ConservationSP provides a framework for MORE action: https://t.co/4tSMCfC6pc

“Why are we using a wild animal extract when we don’t need to?” asked Ryan Phelan, executive director of @Revive_Restore, a nonprofit that advocates for biotechnology & conservation. “It’s like using whales for lamp oil, it’s like using pigs for insulin.”

Our 1st #WildGenomes project: @MNDlab to sequence the #sunflowerseastar genome to find a 'resistance trait' for the wasting disease that's decimated its population. The star (up to 1 m across!) is essential for kelp forests as it predates sea urchins! https://t.co/BRe9Nr0eex

Have you seen the #horseshoecrab "at work" in the biotech industry? This piece from @euronewsliving provides an inside peek. Goes to show you, #CoronavirusVaccine developers should give this keystone species a break!

[Stewart Brand @stewartbrand]

I co-star with @Ryanphelan6 in this 5-minute video on saving the horseshoe crab from the industrial-scale bleeders. Pharma needs the synthetic substitute for their blood to handle all the Covid vaccine the world will require.

@iGEM teams, @Revive_Restore is giving away a t-shirt at 2:30 today to the first person that comes to booth 15 and answers this question: what was the first genetically engineered animal? It predates the 1972 recombinant virus, but isn’t a domestic breed. #iGEM2019 #GiantJamboree
