“Engineering the Future of Life” with Dr. George Church
In this special episode of Robin’s Nest, we’re joined by Dr. George Church, a world-renowned geneticist and one of the leading minds behind the Human Genome Project, for a conversation about the amazing ways science is helping us understand, protect and even restore life on Earth.
Dr. Church takes us inside the frontier of synthetic biology, from the origins of CRISPR and gene editing to the bold promise of de-extinction, conservation technology and genetic equity. The discussion spans his groundbreaking work with Colossal Biosciences, where efforts to revive the woolly mammoth and other lost species aim to restore ecosystems and rethink what “saving nature” means in the 21st century.
Listeners will hear Dr. Church reflect on the ethics and responsibilities of rewriting life’s code, the potential for genetic engineering to combat biodiversity loss, and why he believes “extinction doesn’t have to be forever.” This episode explores how technology and conservation can work hand-in-hand to heal the planet.
A fascinating journey into the science shaping our shared future, and a reminder that innovation, guided by compassion and curiosity, may yet help us write a better story for life on Earth.
