  • The de-extinction of the Wooly Mammoth could occur by 2028 and the biotechnology behind this astounding resurrection of the species may be of potential investment interest to investors.  Here's what we know:
  • Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences, which calls itself the de-extinction company, has plans to combine DNA from 4000+ year old species with current Asian elephants to birth a Wooly Mammoth calf
  • The Asian elephants would be surrogate mothers
  • The Wooly Mammoth died out around 2,000 BC
  • Once they coax Wooly Mammoth embryos into surrogate elephants, the bio scientists will need to find government partners willing to release them onto their land
  • Wooly Mammoths and Asian elephants share 99.6% of their genome
  • After reconstructing the Wooly Mammoth's genetic code, the company plans to insert it into donor egg cells from Asian elephants, fertilize the eggs in vitro and implant them in surrogate elephants
  • The first one could appear by 2028
  • The company thinks that given the technology that comes from this, the long-term shareholder value has considerable potential
  • The company also has plans to de-extinct the dodo bird and Tasmanian tiger.

  • New research by a team of international scientists has found the 2023 Canada Wildfires negatively affected air quality as far away as Europe and China.  Here's what we know:
  • The 2023 wildfires in Canada were the worst in Canadian history
  • Extreme weather conditions from Climate Change are being blamed
  • Air quality as far away as Europe and China suffered significant damage
  • Smoke and pollution were carried by wind patterns across the North Atlantic into Europe, Eurasia and China
  • To track the patterns, scientists used satellite data and air quality measurements
  • They found carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants linked to health problems like respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and the pollutants were carried thousands of miles
  • The long-range transport of the pollution significantly damaged air quality in Europe and China
  • And the fires spread severe levels of pollution into Western Canada and parts of the US.
  • These findings were just published in the Journal of Environmental Science.

  Surfing With No Waves Needed, Anytime of Year                                                                                Source:  Awake Surfboard Can Hit 36 MPH Sweden-based Awake has developed a powerful electric surfboard that can hit speeds of 36 mph.  It can accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in just 4 seconds.  The Ravik S 22 electric surfboard is able to surf on any body of water any time of year including on snowy winter days.  And, it doesn't need waves to surf! It provides an extreme surfing ride, developed by an award-winning surfboard company. Tech Specs The e-board is powered by a 12-kW brushless motor.  The motor has three speed settings and three throttle sensitivity modes.  It has a wireless speed control system that cuts throttle response time down to .02 seconds.  The quick response time makes it much easier for the surfer to time turns and jumps.  A 1.9-kW battery provides a ride time of 15 to 20 minutes. That version of the board is priced at $15,000. An extended
