Curious what "Life As We Made It" is about? Check out the trailer made by @reelsmartvideo for @BasicBooks. And please don't laugh too hard at the home video (I did my best! #WFHfun #thanksKiddos) 😆

Just wrapped up a 45-minute chat with the amazing folks at @colossal. I can't wait to share the conversation with you. I'll probably upload it next Monday or Tuesday. @bonesandbugs

My new gig

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 🦣

Congratulations @colossal 🎉 With UCSC Genomics Institute's @bonesandbugs as CSO, we know that the tools you are developing for de-extinction are going to go far to help preserve and protect endangered species before it is too late 🦤

This is eugenics. As President of the American Genetics Association and a human, I reject this. We are better than this. https://t.co/Xe8E3BAu0n

I’m pretty darn convincing.
