Gene editing, GMOs and bringing back the woolly mammoth. In this episode we explore everything from the science in Jurassic Park to modern day genetics and gene editing technologies. Just how likely are you to ever see a velociraptor next to the lion cage at the zoo, or should we just be happy with our new grocery store option, the anti-freeze strawberry.

Intro Music by Woody Rolph.
