Resurrecting extinct species like the wooly mammoth
Colossal Biosciences is a biotech company based in Dallas working to “de-extinct” the wooly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger, and the dodo. They hope their work will be part of slowing down and reversing the massive extinction that we’re living through currently. Co-host Jeff Tiberii talks with an evolutionary biologist and the company's chief science officer about "de-extinction."
