Of Woolly Mice and Mammoths
Particle Word for Word
<p>In this episode of <strong><em>Particle Word for Word</em></strong>, we dive headfirst into the fascinating, futuristic and sometimes fraught world of de-extinction.</p>
<p>What happens when you splice a woolly mammoth gene into a lab mouse? What if extinction wasn’t the end of the story, but just... an intermission? Join us as we explore the sharp, speculative science behind resurrecting long lost species from genetic puzzles to ecological ethics.</p>
