A fascinating conversation with the Nobel Laureate.
"In the first episode of the new season of ‘The Joy of Why,’ Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna discusses how she discovered CRISPR’s genome-editing power, the breakthroughs and hurdles during its explosive growth, and what lies ahead for this groundbreaking technology."

Vulpine Labs is based in the Vulpibus and is run by LGBTQ+ Otherkin folks!
Let's make Vulpine Labs happen sooner!
Things needed:
Bigger power inverter
BatteriesGrey and black water tanks for environmental safety and hygiene
Materials for sealing the lab and completing the home RV section in the back of the Vulpibus
Car repairs for supply runs (including CV joints, sway bar end links and the windshield)
Satellite Internet so we can be online anywhere
A new phone number
Food and drinks (including tea and coffee!)And of course, debts to pay off including the car loan and a couple of credit cards maxed out when we were all forced to bundle into the bus in the first place in 2024.
How about if you have some spare monies, you pick an item or two from the list and sponsor it?
Send some love to @Kuniti_shino and Atha

Guess what? Scientists have finally figured out how to play God with #CRISPR to annihilate those pesky #cancer cells, even the "undruggable" ones! 🎉 Just make sure you enable #JavaScript and cookies first, because apparently, cutting-edge science is brought to you by an outdated web browser 🤦♂️.

Eli Lilly is preparing a phase 2 trial for VERVE-102, a one-time gene editor acquired from Verve Therapeutics. The highest dose cut LDL cholesterol by 62% in patients, a reduction sustained for up to 18 months across 35 participants.
The treatment permanently switches off PCSK9, a cholesterol-producing gene, using base editing that flips a single DNA letter without breaking the double helix.

Target: $4000 this week!
The #Vulpibus folks are looking to raise a more significant quantity of currency this next week, to catch up with needs that are piling up fast.
Things from hardware and tools, to paying off loans and bureaucracy, to fuel to keep the Vulpibus moving!
It's expensive being poor in a capitalist society.
Let's put everyone in a better position to survive and thrive! Every donation to the Vulpibus increases the ability for it to be used for:
Living
Developing awesome gene editing tech
Rescuing and helping out fellow homeless, trans, LGBTQ+ and Otherkin and Therian folks in this horrible time
Sharing skills in hackerspace-style workshops and projects.Please gather monies and donate to:

Colossal Biosciences Is Making Jurassic Park Look Like a Pitch Deck
Modern biotechnology labs are driving advances in gene editing and de-extinction researchDear Cherubs, Dallas has apparently decided extinction is just a product category. Colossal Biosciences is now a billionaire-level biotech spectacle, with the company saying its latest Series C brought total funding to $615 million and ABC News reporting a roster of celebrity backers that includes Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Paris Hilton and Peter Jackson. Dallas Innovates also reported that the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel, invested in Colossal back in 2022.
The result is a company that sounds like it was brainstormed by a film studio, a venture fund and a very committed science teacher. Colossal says it is working on de-extinction projects tied to the woolly mammoth, dodo, thylacine and dire wolf, using gene editing, synthetic biology and related conservation tools. So no, this is not literally Jurassic Park; it is more like Jurassic Park after legal review and a lot of grant money.
THE TEA, BUT WITH MICROPIPETTES
In April, Reuters reported that Colossal announced three genetically engineered wolf pups and called them the world’s first successfully “de-extincted” animals, while outside experts were more cautious and described them as genetically modified gray wolves with added dire-wolf traits. ABC News said Colossal edited gray wolf cells at multiple sites and noted the two species are about 99.5% genetically identical, which is a very impressive number and also a reminder that biology is rude and complicated.
That is the key detail the movie version never pauses for: the company is not dusting off a frozen dinosaur and pressing play. It is using ancient DNA, gene editing and surrogate biology to create something that resembles an extinct species closely enough to trigger headlines, debates and a healthy amount of side-eye. The label “de-extincted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
WHY THE MONEY FLOWS
The money makes more sense when you look at the technology stack. Dallas Innovates reported that In-Q-Tel said its interest in Colossal was “less about the mammoths and more about the capability,” while Colossal’s own materials say the work could scale CRISPR, synthetic biology, artificial wombs and genomic preservation platforms. In other words, the extinct-animal angle is the headline; the platform is the business.
Colossal has also built a pop-culture-friendly halo around the science. Its advisory board page lists Tom Brady and George R.R. Martin among its cultural advisors, which is exactly the kind of sentence that makes the internet stop scrolling for a second. That is the trick here: make de-extinction feel part science, part blockbuster, part meme, and suddenly the cap table looks almost inevitable.
The hot take is simple: this is not a cartoonish clone factory, and it is not pure hype either. It is a very expensive attempt to push gene editing, cloning-adjacent methods and reproductive tech into territory that could one day matter for conservation as much as spectacle. The dinosaurs are still fiction, but the lab bills are extremely real.
