S02E02:Cloning in Jurassic Park: What Came First, the Egg or the Dinosaur?


Listen Later

Jurassic Park is a classic favorite of many scientists. Except for Anne, who apparently still hasn't seen the movie to this day! In this episode, Scientist Becca Mellema teaches us how to make a dinosaur using cloning techniques! Well... not exactly. But we do talk about the awesomeness of gene editing, the ethics of cloning, and debate what creature laid the dinosaur eggs at the park.
