What's interesting is that George Church's original work, which I forgot the specifics of, was on yeast or something. But his research shows up in Michael Crichton's book.
The guest highlights that George Church's research is referenced in Michael Crichton's book, most likely referring to 'Jurassic Park', suggesting a connection between Church's scientific work and the themes explored in the novel.
This is kind of the idea behind Jurassic Park, right? You've had to have been influenced by that movie.
The guest draws a parallel between their company's work on de-extinction and the themes presented in the book Jurassic Park.
What's interesting about Jurassic Park is that it did a great job of showcasing and educating the world about genetic engineering. Now, we're not doing exactly what they did in Jurassic Park.
The guest discusses how the book Jurassic Park played a significant role in educating the public about genetic engineering.
Now, we're not doing exactly what they did in Jurassic Park. They were taking ancient DNA from amber to fill in the gaps of dinosaur DNA with frog DNA.
The guest explains how their current work diverges from the methods portrayed in Jurassic Park, particularly in the areas of DNA extraction and genetic engineering.
I like to think of it as being slightly smarter than Jurassic Park. What's interesting is that George Church's original work, which I forgot the specifics of, was on yeast or something.
The guest humorously claims that their company's methods are more sophisticated than those depicted in 'Jurassic Park.'

We didn't copy Jurassic Park; they copied my co-founder George Church, who, for those listening, is kind of the OG. He's like the Mick Jagger of genetic engineering and DNA.
During the discussion, the guest highlights that they did not draw inspiration from 'Jurassic Park' but rather points out that the book has taken concepts from his co-founder, George Church, who is regarded as a pioneering figure in genetic engineering.
