Here's the latest variant picture for Western Australia.

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (35%) has rebounded to displace the "Deltacron" XBC.* variant (19%).

The new EG.5.* "Eris" variant (12%) is growing - it's growth advantage of 4% per day over XBB.1.16.* predicts a crossover in early August.

Sample volumes look representative up to July 28.

Colossal's third de-extinction project is: The dodo.

Lots of caveats, questions and hurdles and I try to get into them here. I'm already receiving emails that we could breed them for food.

To be clear, the dodo tasted very bad and its Dutch name (Walghvoghel) basically references its insipid taste.

But fortunately, our thinking has evolved since the year 1013, when the violent king Sweyn Forkbeard ruled and raided.
