Maria delivers Science in Society lecture: Could Jurassic Park really happen?

25 Mar 2024

In her talk, Maria spoke about recent attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the concept of resurrecting extinct species.

Maria said; “The idea that dinosaurs and other extinct species could be resurrected has fuelled the imagination of the public and the blockbuster movie industry for decades. But could it really happen? And would it be ethical? In this talk we look at the science behind the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise, and whether de-extinction of such ancient animals is even possible.”
