#DeExtinction #SciComm #Biology

These hit pieces against #ColssalBio critics usually come before they make some announcement; stay tuned for some #Misinformation about #DeExtinction 🧪 🐺 🦣 🦤

What if extinction wasn’t the end?
De-Extinction Geneticists are bringing lost species back to life. 🧬🌍

Preach! #ColossalBio #DeExtinction #Disinformation

Now this is how #DeExtinction is done. These are "Lazarus species" in my taxonomy of the dead.

#ColossalBio keeps on keeping on with their #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign. Their GMOs aren't #DeExtinct species; they're just making designer transgenic animals. 🦣 🦤🐺 🧟 🧪

Your Life is Changing in 2026: 15 Breakthroughs MIT Says You Can't Ignore Are you ready for the day the world actually changes? By 2026, the 'future' isn't just a concept—it's a deadline. In this episode, we dive deep into the MIT-predicted 15 transformative technologies that are moving from the sterile labs into our daily reality. From Agentic AI taking over the software lifecycle to the controversial resurrection of Ancient DNA, we are standing at the edge of a global reorganization. In this episode, we explore: - The Intelligence Evolution: Why Autonomous AI Agents and Generative Coding mean the '10x developer' might be a thing of the past. - Energy Sovereignty: How Fusion Power, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), and Perovskite solar cells are decentralizing the global grid. - Biological Engineering: The high-stakes world of de-extinction technology and the ethics of CRISPR base editing for newborns. - The New Infrastructure: From Urban Air Mobility (eVTOL) to the commercialization of the stars via Orbital Space Stations. - The Quantum Threat: Why your current security is a ticking time bomb and how Quantum-secure encryption is the only way out. Is this a tech utopia or a 'Jurassic Park' reality check? We break down the expert analysis on why Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) threats make 2026 the most critical year for your digital survival. Don't get left behind in the old world.

#Deextinction ist ideologisch vergleichbar mit C02-Extraktion, eine "technische Lösung", um die Verheerungen von Klima- und Biodiversitätskrise irgendwann in der Zukunft ungeschehen machen zu können:

#ColossalBio Investors; Scientists watching the #ColossalBio #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign sap resources and mislead the public…

Policing Science in the World of Academia In a landscape saturated with bold claims and media-ready headlines, a new type of scientist has emerged: the credibility enforcer. Their tools? Quote tweets, preprints, op-eds, and podcast appearance...

I've lost track of the number of "news" stories questioning my credibility and academic integrity, but this one is oddly flattering – I'm a media influencer! I'm happy to gatekeep against scientific #Disinformation, especially when it comes to #Deextinction 🧪 🦣 🦤 🐺 🧟

The Extinction of Truth Or, a Colossal Pile of Bullshit

Sigh. The #ColossalBio #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign appears to be kicking into gear again — so too shall my truth telling. It’s a scam. 🧪 🐺 🦣

The Extinction of Truth Or, a Colossal Pile of Bullshit

A critique by @devoevomed.bsky.social worth revisiting, given the continued media hype surrounding #deextinction. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

My view of the #deextinction hype, encapsulated below.

the author is correct, ecosystems also “shift continuously over time, adapting to new pressures and diverging from their historical baselines” — so, #Deextinction can’t restore lost environments, but it can introduce invasive species to new environments that have been evolving in their absence 🤷‍♂️

The Perfectionist Fallacy - Columnist24 A growing strand of scientific purism argues that de-extinction efforts must achieve perfect genetic fidelity before they can be taken seriously.

Exactly, but its argument in favor of #Deextinction is itself a logical fallacy; yes, “ecosystems respond to what organisms do, not to how precisely their DNA mirrors the past” but… 🧪

🌍 Earth is in crisis. We’re in the sixth mass extinction, driven by humans, with up to 58,000 species vanishing each year. Can science fight back?

My critiques of #ColossalBio and their #Deextinction scam might lead you to believe that I’m anti GMOs, I’m not; this is a stunning example genetic engineering in pursuit of beauty and aesthetics 🧪 🧬🌹

Behold! The awesome power of #Deextinction and @currentbiology.bsky.social’s social media team…

TLDR, while #Deextinction didn’t happen the #hype, #fraud, #DarkPR and #Disinformation campaigns very much did 🧪 🐺

Wrote a paper on biotech de-extinction seen through the lens of #virtuetehics with the philosopher Bjørn Myskja. Academic papers have a tendency of only reaching a very small audience so happy to have this chance to make it more accessible #Colossal #Deextinction #biodiversity #fellowcreatures

Inside the Cryo Lab ❄️🦏

Frozen sperm & tissue from 300+ endangered species - like northern white rhinos - are being used by #ColossalBiosciences to bring animals back from the brink (or even extinction!).

Watch during Ancient Earth Week, Dec 4–14! #DeExtinction #CuriosityStream

I swear, I’m trying to keep my #ColossalBio #DeExtinction thoughts to myself, but please, please, please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top don’t tell them about this!

What does the #DeExtinction of “dire wolves” and Hitler’s DNA have in common? #Pseudoscience, scientific #Misinformation, #Clickbate headlines, and #Hype

Great article by @maxhenrybarnhart.bsky.social on media-first science

🧪 #BlueSkyScience #AcademicBluesky #BioSky #HumanGenetics

Yes, but likely only related to #ColossalBio and/or #DeExtinction (that I’m aware of anyway, so probably not what you’re asking)…

The topic of this years ethics in science MSc class @uniulm.bsky.social was the #deextinction of the #direwolf! A key take home was that choosing a grey wolf genome as template was a matter of convenience. Convenience breeds bad #science

Fantastic deëxtinction fiction vs #DeExtinction facts 🧪🐺🦤🦣
