That work was like classic conservation, you know, bringing eggs in from the remaining populations, raising them up, putting them at new sites, augmenting existing sites, surveys.
I'm being approached by people that are watching species and populations go extinct and they're desperate for solutions.
I think the challenge isn't the science.
We can do this.
The challenge is going to be convincing people that it's a good idea.
Frogs are little wet things that run around in the mud.
They should be absolutely just covered in infections at all times.
And the reason they're not is they produce antibiotics.
Like a chihuahua is the same species as a wolf.
That's a bigger sin against nature than doing one little gene change.
Like, I think people need to acknowledge that we already impact nature in a profound way.
And we have the capacity to use it for good for once.
And maybe we should just consider it.
It's considered the worst pandemic ever, worst invasive species ever in terms of biodiversity loss.
