It was a pleasure to attend this @SenateAging hearing and really fun to meet @jontaffer!

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Proud to have @SantaFeCollege President Dr. Paul Broadie at yesterday's @SenateAging hearing to highlight the work they're doing to help seniors live their American Dream. Florida continues to lead the nation in supporting seniors with results-driven resources.

It’s science 🧅

@PrezKentFuchs Nicely said, President Fuchs. His legacy left a mark on all of Florida - and maintained a super preeminent sense of humor.

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

#Crew9 will be difficult to spot in the daytime as it reenters Earth's atmosphere, but if you want to keep an eye out for @SpaceX's Dragon as it heads home today, we have the map for you.
