Unscriptify

This week, we went full Jurassic Park meets TED Talk with Ben Lamm, the mastermind behind Colossal Biosciences. Ben drops some never-before-answered details about the direwolf project (yes, actual direwolves), shares updates on the mammoth and dodo, and shares wild stories from the field — including what it’s like meeting John Reeves in the middle of Alaska.

We also get into the big stuff: what’s the real goal with Colossal, how this could shake up medicine, biodiversity, and what it all means for future generations. Equal parts mind-blowing, funny, and a little existential — just another day on Unscriptify.
