I was just about to mention how miserable the experience is on mobile. A minute into reading and I got a totally cool full-fucking-screen ad for some star trek thing I don’t care about.
I know it’s slightly unfair to complain about something I didn’t pay a cent to access, but practices like that are downright insulting to me as a reader, similar to how some sites trap you into their related articles list after you press the back button. That shit has got to be illegal, but if they must do that, they should at least save it for “articles” about the latest politician getting “slammed” or “blasted”, with a single tweet as their source. Let me read about an incredible scientific advancement being made without begging me to look at literally everything else.
Anyway, about the story, this is something I have hoped would be possible for a very long time. I particularly feel for the Tasmanian Tiger ever since I saw the only (?) surviving video of one. It looks so scared in the tiny cage while those awful people bang on the fence. Hopefully Colossal Biosciences can pull this off, and then - as they state - apply the technique to the wooly mammoth and dodo bird. Fingers crossed!
Also, more shame on Gizmodo for not linking to Colossal Biosciences’s website anywhere in the article. More than half the links are internal. Honestly I’m shocked that they linked to the research publication at all.
