Beth ShapiroAmerican evolutionary biologist and Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, formerly a professor at UC Santa Cruz and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator

“that single letter change to that quoll's genome could allow that quoll not only to avoid becoming extinct, but to eat cane toads”
