I have, which meant that I spent a number of years thinking about if we should de-extinct animals before I set out to figure out if we could. Since then, it’s a question that has come up in nearly every meeting with investors, journalists, and lawyers. When I first told my lawyer that I was interested in starting Colossal and bringing back the woolly mammoth, he asked me if I had read Michael Crichton’s book or seen Spielberg’s Jurassic Park movie. George Church of Harvard, and over one hundred scientists at Colossal, as we are now on the brink of de-extincting animals, just like they did at ( queue the theme music) Jurassic Park.
And, I stand here now, in partnership with Dr. In the thirty years since, I have watched time and again as science fiction became the pivotal catalysts for modern day science fact: 3D printers were first imagined in Star Trek hover bikes came from Star Wars The Jetsons invented video calls. Yes, as an 11-year-old I thought, what if dinosaurs could be real? I rushed to get a good seat, right in the middle, and as soon as the first Brachiosaurus walked on the screen and John Hammond uttered those famous words, “Welcome to Jurassic Park,” my jaw dropped further than Dr. I was eleven years old and as I walked into the theater with a bag of popcorn and a large Coke, I was overcome with excitement. I remember the first time I saw dinosaurs roar to life on the big screen like it was yesterday.
