In this episode, Colossal Biosciences CEO Ben Lamm breaks down how his team is using synthetic biology to revive extinct animals like the woolly mammoth, dire wolf,and dodo—and why de-extinction is ultimately about saving today’s endangered species.
Ben shares how mentorship from GeorgeChurch launched this mission, how AI is transformingconservation, why ecosystem restoration matters as much as the lab work, and how these technologies could shape life on Earth—and beyond—for generations tocome.
A fast-paced look into the future of species revival, biodiversity,and the evolving relationship between humanity, technology, and the naturalworld.
