Можем ли да съживим птицата Додо е основната тема в този епизод. В продължение на векове човечеството главно допринася за изчезването на различни видове, но компанията Colossal Biosciences прави опити да направи точно обратното - да съживи птицата Додо. Никола и Петко, в компанията на генетикът, доц.Славил Пейков, разговарят за планът и методите, чрез които компанията се опитва да възроди редица изчезнали животни. В епизода обсъждат и какво по-точно представлява де-екстинацията и дали вече не се е случвало. Слушайте епизода, за да разберете има ли бекъп вариант за живота на планетата и какъв е планът да забавим глобалното затопляне.

It's that time again - time look back at the year that was, and that was a year that was weird. Hine and Buckley have barely recovered from the horrific ordeal of looking back at 2024 but they bravely get their shit together just about enough to sift through the ragged tatters of weirdness that held together the fabric of reality of 2025. The Vayse boys encounter the usual suspects: Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Eric Davis et al, and some new (to the Vayseverse) recurring characters: Mark Christopher Lee, Avi Loeb and the sinister genetics company Colossal Biosciences. In this dizzying dance through to June of 2025 there are also highly strange encounters with egg shaped UFOs; wooly mice; twitchy dangling robots; foul mouthed relatives of his holiness the Pope; the wreckages of persistent bullshit-talking dullard, Elon Musk's childish, egotistical, spacefaring ambitions; soldiers on the moon... and some mother-fucking snakes on a mother-fucking plane...

For episode five of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Ben Lamm, CEO and co-founder of Colossal Biosciences - the company working on de-extinction and species preservation, including its flagship woolly mammoth project. Together, they explore what “bringing back” an extinct species actually means in practice: rebuilding fragmented ancient DNA, comparing it to a close living relative (the Asian elephant), and using gene editing to reintroduce key traits like cold tolerance - before creating embryos that could one day be carried by a surrogate or, eventually, an artificial womb.Ben also explains why the mammoth has become Colossal's defining project - from public fascination and unusually strong samples preserved in permafrost, to the potential conservation upside. The conversation dives into how the same tools can support living species too: developing new reproductive technologies, using AI and drones to understand elephant behaviour, and tackling threats like EEHV, a disease that kills young elephants. Along the way, they discuss Colossal's viral moments - including the woolly mouse and the dire wolf - as well as the ethical lines the company says it won't cross.This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard.

Episodio 596 con Francesca e Luca ai microfoni per una scorpacciata di notizie scientifiche dal defunto 2025. Iniziamo con gennaio 2025, quando è stato eseguito il secondo trapianto di un rene geneticamente modificato negli Stati Uniti.Ad aprile la Colossal Biosciences ha riportato in vita tre esemplari di enocione (o lupo terribile), un canide vissuto durante il Pleistocene. Per farlo, ha sequenziato il suo genoma da un dente di enocione di 13.000 anni fa e da un cranio di enocione di 72.000 anni fa, apportato 20 modifiche al DNA di lupo grigio per creare alcuni tratti fisici dell'enocione. A maggio è uscito sul New England Journal of Medicine probabilmente uno studio sul (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2504747) primo trattamento personalizzato di editing genetico CRISPR eseguito su un bimbo di neanche un anno affetto da una patologia genetica molto rara. Il bimbo si chiama K.J. Muldoon ed è affetto dal deficit di CPS1, dove CPS sta per carbamoil-fosfato sintetasi 1, un enzima che trasforma l'ammoniaca in carbamoil-fosfato.Nell'esterna di oggi, Leonardo intervista Stefano Della Torre, ricercatore INFN che ci parla di come usando delle GPU (delle schede grafiche) siano riusciti a ridurre moltissimo il tempo necessario per risolvere i modelli che descrivono il comportamento dei raggi cosmici. Dopo una barza terribile, ritorniamo in studio. A giugno 2025 sono usciti due studi (https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adu9677 e https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.05.040) in cui si analizzava un cranio quasi completo, risalente al 146000 anni fa, trovato in Cina nord-orientale e soprannominato cranio dell'“Uomo Drago”. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8454562/).Un altro bel risultato per quanto riguarda le malattie genetiche l'ha ottenuto Sarah Tabrizi che, a settembre 2025, ha dichiarato il successo della sua gene-targeting therapy che potrebbe rallentare la progressione dalla malattia di Huntington (https://uniqure.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/uniqure-announces-positive-topline-results-pivotal-phase-iii).Ad ottobre, invece, il giornale Psychiatric News ha pubblicato un report in cui veniva segnalata una nuova psicosi, chiamata “Psicosi indotta da IA” (https://doi.org/10.1176/appi.pn.2025.10.10.5). Si tratta di un nuovo disturbo neurologico per cui le persone iniziano a scambiare una chatbot per un essere cosciente, sviluppando allucinazioni, deliri e una vera e propria confusione della realtà.Da novembre 2025 il Canada non è più considerato un Paese libero dal morbillo. Molto probabilmente seguiranno a ruota gli Stati Uniti, per i quali il numero di casi è in largo aumento, con circa 2000 casi confermati in 43 paesi nel solo 2025. Purtroppo questa tendenza ad eludere l'obbligo vaccinale è in aumento, specialmente dopo il Covid-19 e le dichiarazioni di alcuni consulenti sanitari del governo americano di evitare la vaccinazione infantile contro l'epatite B. Tornando alla notizia del morbillo, ricordiamo che il vaccino contro morbillo, parotite e rosolia è estremamente efficace e protegge dal morbillo per tutta la vita, quindi mi raccomando: VACCINATEVI!Concludiamo l'episodio con due belle notizie leggere.Nello specifico di larve di mosconi che confondono le termiti con la loro culo-faccia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.01.007), esponendo un posteriore mimetico che le confonde tra le termiti per "scroccare" vitto e alloggio.Se non lo sapevate, gli axolotl – che sono delle salamandre con caratteristiche neoteniche, ovvero è una specie che conserva caratteristiche morfologiche e fisiologiche tipiche dei giovani per tutta la vita, e con straordinarie capacità rigenerative – sono una specie a rischio di estinzione. Fortunatamente, però, alcuni ricercatori dell'Università Nazionale Autonoma del Messico sono riusciti ad introdurre axolotl allevati in cattività nel loro habitat naturale, i quali sono sopravvissuti, il che consentirebbe di ripopolare la popolazione selvatica (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0314257).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

In this encore episode of Rapid Response, we revisit a scientific breakthrough that set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction' of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences' announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and re-wilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal's dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal's co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joined host Bob Safian to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the startup attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company's technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.

Send us a textSend us a textIn Episode #53 of Season #4, I will discuss the company Colossal Biosciences and it's attempt at bringing back an animal, the Dire Wolf, from it's 10,000 year extinction.  The Dire Wolf DNA is not 100% Dire Wolf DNA but it has some Gray Wolf DNA segments to make the DNA complete.  Because of this, many people are upset that they are saying that they brought back the Dire Wolf.  But this is just the first attempt at bringing back a previously extinct animal.  No one anticipates ever seeing a Dire Wolf running wild.Your host is Tommy Fowler.

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. Follow Matt Beall Limitless: https://x.com/MattbLimitlesshttps://x.com/MBeallX https://www.tiktok.com/@mblimitless https://www.instagram.com/mattbealllimitless/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Beall-Limitless/61556879741320/ Check out our Shorts & ClipsClip Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MBLimitlessClipsShorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MBLimitlessShorts Listen Everywhere: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallLimitlessApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-beall-limitless/id1712917413  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6727221 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MattBeallLimitless   Check out Ben Lamm & Colossal:https://www.youtube.com/@Colossalhttps://colossal.com/https://www.instagram.com/colossalhttps://x.com/colossalhttps://www.facebook.com/itiscolossal Timeline:00:00:00 – Introductions00:01:41 - Where did this vision come from?00:05:06 - Companies Before Colossal?00:07:56 - What is a Wolly Mouse?00:12:32 - Ethical Component?00:19:31 - Big Goals for Colossal00:22:25 - Conservation00:38:15 - The Earth in a 1,000 Years00:40:46 - Predator Free Environment00:49:59 - Bringing Back Ancient Humans01:02:52 – Dire Wolf Details01:17:02 - What's Next for Colossal?01:20:30 - Younger Dryas Theory?01:26:11 - Future Years for Colossal01:28:01 - Sharing your Data with the World?01:34:21 – Closing #ColossalBiosciences #BenLamm #DeExtinction #WoollyMammoth#DireWolf #DodoBird #SyntheticBiology #GenomeEngineering #FutureOfLife#Biodiversity #ConservationTech #AIandBiology #LimitlessPodcast #SpeciesRevival The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are notnecessarily the views of the host or of any business related to the host.

A Note from James:Are UFOs real or not? For 80 years there have been credible whistleblowers saying the government recovered craft—and even bodies. That's why I wanted Kent Heckenlively on, the author of Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth. I'm not here to decide for you. I want to hear the best evidence, ask the obvious questions, and have you help me figure out if we actually got closer to the truth. Let's find out together. Episode Description:n this episode, James sits down with Kent Heckenlively—attorney, journalist, and coauthor of Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth—to stress-test the most serious UFO claims on the table right now. Kent argues that humanity is on the brink of a “catastrophic disclosure” moment where long-hidden crash retrieval programs, nonhuman technology, and even bodies will be forced into the open. James plays the role he knows best: friendly skeptic who wants receipts, definitions, and clear thinking.Together they walk through recent congressional hearings, whistleblower testimony, the Yemen orb video, and those strange Peruvian mummies that look either like a bad hoax… or like something we truly don't understand. They talk about how many people would have to keep secrets for decades, why the best deceptions are mostly true, and how scientific projects like Colossal Biosciences' “de-extincted” dire wolves show both the promise and the hype of cutting-edge genetics. The result isn't a verdict on whether aliens are visiting us. It's a framework. James and Kent map out a way to think about uncertainty, spin, and incentives—whether you're trying to decide what you believe about UFOs, pandemics, financial crises, or any other story where the truth lives behind NDAs, classified briefings, and very human motives.What You'll Learn:James's 85/15 rule for extraordinary claims—stay open without getting swept up. What makes the pilot/whistleblower testimony compelling—and what still doesn't add up.How definitions and bureaucracy shape the narrative (e.g., how agencies say “not alien” without proving “explained”).

In this special episode of Robin's Nest, we're joined by Dr. George Church, a world-renowned geneticist and one of the leading minds behind the Human Genome Project, for a conversation about the amazing ways science is helping us understand, protect and even restore life on Earth.Dr. Church takes us inside the frontier of synthetic biology, from the origins of CRISPR and gene editing to the bold promise of de-extinction, conservation technology and genetic equity. The discussion spans his groundbreaking work with Colossal Biosciences, where efforts to revive the woolly mammoth and other lost species aim to restore ecosystems and rethink what “saving nature” means in the 21st century.Listeners will hear Dr. Church reflect on the ethics and responsibilities of rewriting life's code, the potential for genetic engineering to combat biodiversity loss, and why he believes “extinction doesn't have to be forever.” This episode explores how technology and conservation can work hand-in-hand to heal the planet.A fascinating journey into the science shaping our shared future, and a reminder that innovation, guided by compassion and curiosity, may yet help us write a better story for life on Earth.

Welcome to PGX Ideas #2Here I sit down with some of the most interesting minds in the world — scientists, philosophers, economists, and creators — to think about the forces shaping the future.Each episode is an attempt to understand ONE BIG question. The kind that doesn't have a single answer but reveals how people who think deeply approach life, work, and meaning.This time, I spoke with Ben Lamm — Founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences about:What will de-extinction lead to?Timestamps:00:00 - What Is Colossal Doing?01:30 - What is De-Extinction?03:05 - Science Behind Artificial Wombs21:07 - How did they de-extinct Direwolves?32:01 - What other animals can return?35:48 - Can we revive dinosaurs?47:07 - Technologies changing the World49:03 - What if Tech had no limits?53:49 - Can we create entire new species?58:34 - 3D-Printing Food 01:02:12 - Colossal's Business Model01:11:11 - Can We Bring Dead People Back to Life?01:17:03 - Can This Technology Backfire on Us?01:18:13 - Ben's Biggest Fears01:20:40 - What If We End Up Creating Zombie-Like Species?01:24:15 - His Views on God & Life

Could studying the DNA of extinct animals – or even bringing them back to life – help us save today's endangered species and inform modern medicine?  That may sound like the premise for a Hollywood movie, but it's work that our Raise the Line guest, Dr. Beth Shapiro, is actually engaged in as Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, which describes itself as the world's first and only de-extinction company.  “It's not just about learning about the past. It's learning about the past so we have more validated scientific information that we can use to predict what we can do to better influence the future,” she tells host Michael Carrese. An internationally-renowned evolutionary molecular biologist and paleogeneticist, Dr. Shapiro is a pioneer in ancient DNA research and has successfully sequenced genomes, like that of the dodo, to study evolution and the impact on humans. At Colossal Biosciences, she leads teams working to bring back traits of extinct species such as the mammoth, not for spectacle, but to restore ecological balance. “When species become extinct, you lose really fundamental interactions between species that existed in that ecosystem. By taking a species that's alive today and editing its DNA so that it resembles those extinct species, we can functionally replace those missing ecological interactions.” Tune into this utterly fascinating conversation to hear about what Jurassic Park got wrong, the positive ecological impact of reintroducing giant tortoises to Mauritius, and the ethics of using gene editing and other biotechnologies. Mentioned in this episode:Colossal Biosciences If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Ben Lamm is CEO and Co-founder of Colossal Biosciences, the world's first de-extinction company. Colossal has raised more than $400 million at a valuation north of $10 billion to bring back extinct species using synthetic biology and genetic engineering. Just this year, the company unveiled the first dire wolves born in 12,000 years, created woolly mice with mammoth-like fur, and remains on track to see woolly mammoth calves by 2028.This conversation explores Colossal's end-to-end platform approach, from ancient DNA recovery to multiplex genome editing, and why Ben sees de-extinction not just as science fiction come true but as a venture-scale business that spins out companies, partners with governments, and raises profound ethical questions. We cover polarizing public reactions, the conservation potential of rewilding keystone species, and how synthetic biology and AI are accelerating breakthroughs once thought impossible.Episode recorded on Aug 20, 2025 (Published on Sept 23, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [04:14] An overview of Colossal[05:47] The company's dire wolf pups debut[10:51] Reasons behind de-extinction[11:49] Mammoth vs. thylacine vs. dodo challenges[18:40] How Ben co-founded a bioscience company[20:56] George Church and Colossal's origin story[22:40] The “why” behind bringing back the mammoth[27:42] Colossal's biodiversity credit carbon model[28:43] Trade-offs between rewilding existing species vs extinct[31:35] Colossal's multifaceted business model[33:58] The company's plastic-eating enzyme spinout[37:57] Colossal's unique speed of R&D[40:38] The Colossal Foundation[42:29] Ben's pov on our moral obligation to transparency Enjoyed this episode?

Colossal Biosciences has grand ambitions to bring back extinct species like the woolly mammoth and the dodo. But while it's still working on those, Colossal surprised the world by announcing in April that it had created three white animals it says are dire wolves — a canine that lived in the Americas and is thought to have been slightly larger than a gray wolf. Colossal's CEO Ben Lamm explains what it all means and how they brought the wolves into being. CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria interviews Lamm about the buzz Colossal created with its wolves and what's coming next.   

Back in April, a company called Colossal Biosciences announced that they had brought dire wolves — ancient canines of Game of Thrones fame — back from extinction. The internet went wild. But while some media outlets proclaimed the return of a long-gone species, many scientists shot back on social media that these weren't really dire wolves, they were just genetically engineered grey wolves. Suddenly everybody had an opinion on what de-extinction is, what it is not, and whether or not we should be doing things like this in the first place. In this episode, we talk to scientists who have been working in this area for a while, and they not only share their thoughts on these wolves — they completely change our understanding of the term “de-extinction.”Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

00:45 Researchers develop a new glue and test it on a rubber duckAided by machine learning, researchers have developed a super-sticky compound that works as an underwater adhesive. Inspired by animals like barnacles, the team developed a new kind of a material called a hydrogel. The material is capable of securely fastening objects together even when immersed in salty water— a challenge for existing adhesives. To show off its properties the researchers applied it to a rubber duck, which stuck firmly to a rock on a beach despite being battered by waves.Research Article: Liao et al.News and Views: AI learns from nature to design super-adhesive gels that work underwater07:37 Research HighlightsThe tomato-infused origins of the modern potato — plus, a specific group of stem cells that may help to drive osteoarthritis.Research Highlight: Potato, tomato: the roots of the modern taterResearch Highlight: Ageing stem cells in the knees drive arthritis damage09:46 The diversity of microbes within living treesBy taking samples from over 150 trees in a forest in the US, researchers have revealed a previously unknown community of microorganisms living there. While the microbiomes of animals have been well explored, studies looking at the microbes living inside trees are limited. In this work the team show distinct populations of microbes living within different parts of a tree, and huge diversity in populations between trees. The team behind the work hope these findings will lead to a greater understanding of tree physiology and the role these microbes play in broader ecosystems.Research Article: Arnold et al.18:46 The ‘de-extinction' debateBack in April, the company Colossal Biosciences claimed to have de-extincted dire wolves, a large-bodied wolf species that once roamed North America.
