Been interviewed lately about #ColossalBio, who promote themselves by comparison to #JurrasicPark; I *just* realized why this analogy is bad/good. JP is a horror movie about hubris and technological overreach told via #Deextinction, leading to widespread death/destruction. Not a good look… 🧪 🦣 🐺 🦤

Also (probably) same, like #ColossalBio claims to be doing with the Northern quoll. See, I’m not a hater of all things Colossal!

Too much to tell fake vs real anymore. How can one tell, if memory doesn’t serve, and a deep dive in to emails doesn’t use the right search terms‽ I’m so sorry I missed this. And #ColossalBio will likely use this against me. Sigh. Again apologies for the incorrect OP.

Apologies to @olliemilman.bsky.social at the @theguardian.com, for my error in thinking this was misattributing my quotes; he's excellent reporting quoted me correctly, the #ColossalBio #Disinformation *is* speculative fiction and arrogant...

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

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

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

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 🧪 🧬🌹

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!

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

Everyone knows I’m a fierce critic of #ColossalBio and their #DeExtinction misinformation; but I also give credit where it’s due, and ancient RNA from a woolly mammoth is remarkable 🧪 🦣 🧊 🥶

It says in one of the articles that Brady is an investor in #ColossalBio so it really is a celebrity PR stunt

Cloning Tom Brady’s dog isn’t a “marvel of science”; it is old #BioTech being used in yet another PR stunt by #ColossalBio to grab undeserved headlines… 🐶 🧪 🤷

The #BioTech #ColossalBio is developing will transform healthcare; genetic disease & infertility? Gone. Monetizing tech is the point, not deëxtinction, but that tech begets designer babies (aka eugenics) — this is why critical discussion of their rhetoric matters 🧪 🐋🌱

The #ColossalBio Mammouse™️ v2.0 just dropped; same fluffy mouse but now v2.0
Check out Antonio Regalado’s original MIT Tech Review story about how #CollosalBio is attempting to legalize their definition of deëxtinction, but #ExtinctionIsForever 🧪 🦣

OK, this one is just straight-up uncanny. The tech bro billionaire in the book Ghost Species (2020) uses the same public facing rhetoric, restoration ecology, as #ColossalBio to justifying the #deëxtinction of thylacines, mammoths, and aurochs 🧪 🦣 🐃
Nice review:

I'm booted of X and keep Insta for fun; outside a direct dis/acknowledgement by #ColossalBio actual we have no way to know; AFAIK #ColossalBio actual hasn't disavowed smear campaigns against critics, which is telling. But I agree their B+ level meme-trolling is on top of things (and kinda funny)...

Just a reminder that Elizabeth Holmes once featured on TIME's 100 Most Influential People list. Incidentally, TIME's unbridled hymn of praise for Lamm comes courtesy of George Church who is, of course, the co-founder with Lamm of #ColossalBio.

Dr. Church advocates against using "ad hominem comments” against #ColossalBio critics, yet his Co-Founder Mr. Lamm does exactly that against me: "We do not care that Vincent criticizes Colossal and our mission for de-extinction and conservation while working to inspire kids..." 10/n

Throughout my academic career, I have only uplifted my colleagues; you don’t make enemies that way either. Mr. Lamm may be a charismatic billionaire, but that doesn't make him a good person, or the #ColossalBio #Deëxtinction #MisInformation real 7/n

#ColossalBio “believes it’s safe to assume” I “may have a few enemies.” You don’t make enemies in the back of an ambulance, doing everything you can to help the hurt and comfort the dying; you don't make enemies searching under 30' of pitch black water; I'll never forget some of them 6/n

#ColossalBio CEO Mr. Lamm is concerned that my “mental health” issues and “stalking-like behavior” threaten his employees’ safety; ad hominem attacks in response to valid public criticism of their #DisInformation campaign is not a mental health disorder 1/n 🧪

In which I proudly stay on my soapbox to counter the #ColossalBio #DisInformation; they made GMO grey wolves, not dire ones whether it was for fun, function, or fiction #ExtinctionReallyIsForever 🐺 🧫 🧬 🧪

We created a story about what the dodo looked like and how it behaved, and that story wrong was very wrong; which version of the dodo will #ColossalBio model their #Deëxtinction efforts on, v1 or v2‽ What if there is an even more accurate v3? 🦤 🧪
