What happened in Minneapolis yesterday is absolutely awful and unacceptable! 😢😡 nytimes.com/video/us/1000000…
This is huge news. So excited we are expanding our capabilities.

🤯 You’re looking at pigeon primordial germ cells (PGCs) grown in culture for the first time. These stem cells will be key to bringing back the dodo. Until now, this achievement was limited to chickens and geese, but unlocking it in pigeons opens the door to dodo de-extinction.

Encore 120 millions de dollars levés pour Colossal, qui en plus du mammouth laineux veut désormais raviver le dodo. En 2022, j'avais enquêté sur cette société texane pour @lesechosweekend lesechos.fr/weekend/business…
Colossal Biosciences, a biotechnology startup working to resurrect extinct animals, has raised $120 million from investors including filmmaker Peter Jackson — and its CEO says the company expects to resurrect the dodo in less than seven years bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

EXCLUSIVE: The dodo could return within 5–7 years.
Colossal Biosciences explains to us about how they plan to make it happen.

🚨🦤✨ HUGE breakthroughs on the path to bringing back the dodo. From gene-edited birds to the first pigeon primordial germ cells, and more, extinction is losing.
Scroll through and feel the rise of “Big Dodo Energy.”

Colossal Biosciences announced their plans to bring back the tallest bird that ever lived, which has been extinct for nearly 600 years.
The giant moa.

Excited to announce a project that @colossal has been working on in New Zealand with Peter Jackson and the Ngāi Tahu Research Center - Bringing back the South Island Giant Moa. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
Olivier Fedrigo retweeted
Today we announce a new Colossal de-extinction project: the legendary moa of New Zealand. This new de-extinction initiative, coordinated by the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre, brings the return of this legendary bird closer to reality.
Hope is taking flight, even if these birds can’t.
So happy to have played a (small) part in this work. frontiersin.org/journals/mar…
