Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible | Adam Rutherford
At a time when US scientists are under attack from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is dangerous, says geneticist Adam Rutherford
#colossal bioscience is attempting #deextinction by bringing back the #woolymammoth. This species became extinct due to rapid climate change - once a species is gone, it’s lost forever. Life on this planet is precious, including #human.

Professor School: Writing recommendation letters
Because we were never trained for this job
One thing that all professors have in common in that we weren't trained for our jobs.
Now that I've been doing this for a few decades, I'm starting an occasional series called Professor School. It's not advice, just bunch of ideas and information to make things easier.

Whale makes epic migration, astonishing scientists
A humpback whale makes one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded, raising alarm.
A humpback whale has made one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded:
It was seen in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, then popped up several years later near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean - a distance of at least 13,000 km
