Nic Rawlence
Dr. Nic Rawlence is a paleogeneticist at the University of Otago, specializing in ancient DNA analysis and the study of extinct species. He is known for his work on reconstructing genetic information from fossilized remains, which has provided insights into the biology and ecology of extinct animals. Recently, he has been vocal about the limitations of current genetic techniques used by companies like Colossal Biosciences, particularly in their claims of de-extincting the dire wolf.
