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!).

This week former NFL quarterback Tom Brady announced that his pitbull mix called Junie is a clone of his late dog, Lua. #clone #TomBrady #clonepets #TomBradydog #giselebundchen #colossalbiosciences #Viagen

Tom Brady receives a lick on the cheek from a dog on a beach, with text about his new cloned pup 'Junie' from late pitbull mix 'Lua'.
Brown and white pit bull lounging on a bench. Text discusses Tom Brady investing in pet cloning, with his dog being a clone of a past pet.
Text: "How do you even clone a dog and what does it cost? Scientists take a skin or blood sample, extract the DNA and insert it into a donor egg that’s had its nucleus removed. The embryo grows in a surrogate until birth, producing a genetic twin. Texas firm Viagen, owned by Colossal Biosciences, charges around US$50,000 for a dog. Brady joins Barbra Streisand and Paris Hilton on the cloned-pet list, while the brand chases bigger headlines reviving dodo birds and dire wolves."
A man in a winter coat rides a scooter with a small dog on a leash, next to a river. Text discusses the ethics of cloning pets.
Yep, Tom Brady just cloned his dog 🐾

The company, #ColossalBiosciences, has announced its ambitious goal is not just to create a zoo curiosity.
Instead, they aim to produce "thousands" of #dodos with enough genetic diversity to be released back into the wild, repopulating the island nation where they were wiped out.
#Science
Or how #ColossalBiosciences gave exclusive access to @newyorker.com, Time Magazine, and @wired.com to the “Dire Wolf” story, ensuring extensively positive PR and avoiding criticism
#ColossalBiosciences is claiming the science sector is carrying out "coordinated attacks" on them!
The @stonybrook.bsky.social student newspaper, The Statesman, has done a better job of covering #ColossalBiosciences de-extinction disinformation than most other media outlets; student journalism keeping to the real, again...

I’m a broken record x2. Over on X the slander/pettiness continues from #ColossalBiosciences co-founder Ben Lamm; a pinned post to boot! I wonder who was quoted in a @newscientist.com story about Colossal’s critics‽ Hint, only a few of us; we want answers, and that’s a *big* problem for them…
Yes, I’m a broken record. But meanwhile, over on X, from which I’m still banned but have a perfectly working Bluesky account, the slander and pettiness slanders and pettys on from #ColossalBiosciences et al…
More #ColossalBiosciences BS; Lamm says “We have a couple of consistent critics that don’t have the highest levels of credentials,” and that we’re “people who haven’t contributed to their fields in quite some time.” Yet they’ve applied for a patent based on our elephant TP53 retrogene/LIF6 work 1/n
Darren here breaks down the potential and very probable negative impact done by the actions/PR from #ColossalBiosciences.
Please read and share, especially if you're outside the scientific community. The more people understand, the more we can try and help the world at large.
And this is not a good look for #ColossalBiosciences or any of the people who promote de-extinction. It makes the field look like a grift afraid of appropriate criticism. END thread, please share :)
@newscientist.com tested the smear articles for AI-cues and concluded that “many … were created by chatbots”. New Scientist also says that #ColossalBiosciences (and CEO Ben Lamm in particular) has denied involvement in these articles... 8/n
It explains how those experts who've publicly criticised #ColossalBiosciences have been targeted by an online smear campaign involving anonymous blog and online media articles. These articles include such quotes as… 5/n
For these two reasons and others, relevant experts – among them @devoevomed.bsky.social, @toriherridge.bsky.social and @nicrawlencenz.bsky.social – have publicly said critical things about #ColossalBiosciences. If CB is operating within the arena of science, this is >of course< to be expected... 3/n
It's also fair to criticize the #ColossalBiosciences efforts on technical grounds: no, those were NOT ‘dire wolves’ as claimed, just designer dogs with genetic modification. The other animals that CB talks about will be GMOs, not extinct species brought back to life.... 2/n
You’ll all have seen the many announcements and PR pieces from #ColossalBiosciences. There are reasons to be concerned about the general message promoted by CB, one being that it is seen >by some< (US politicians in particular) as meaning that we can devalue conservation. A 🧵 1/n

Colossal Biosciences planira oživjeti divovsku mou uz podršku Petera Jacksona
Objavljeno: 12:46, 11. srpnja 2025.
#vijesti #znanost #colossalbiosciences #genetika #moa
Peter Jackson partners with Colossal Biosciences to revive the extinct Moa, a 500-pound, 11-foot-tall bird gone for 600 years.
The $15M project uses DNA from remains, aiming to restore New Zealand’s ecological heritage.
#MoaRevival #PeterJackson #ColossalBiosciences
Macabre!! #PeterJackson, #NgāiTahu, #CanterburyMuseum, & US biotech co #ColossalBiosciences plan to extract DNA from Moa remains to recreate the towering flightless bird. Extracted DNA has to go somewhere. What bird will be a test subject? Whose eggs will injected DNA go into?
Creepy AF.

Have you heard of de-extinction?
We got a chance to learn a bit more about the concept of functional #deextinction which is a large part of the work of #colossalbiosciences, in a Daily Dive with Chief Science Officer #BethShapiro
