If you resurrect a woolly mammoth and it falls in Pershing Square, who is liable for the damage? Join Andrew Torrance, an expert in the cutting-edge field of biolaw, to find out. With a PhD in biology from Harvard University and a JD from Harvard Law School, Torrance conducts groundbreaking research in intellectual property and the right to innovate as a professor at the University of Kansas School of Law and a visiting scientist at MIT. In this casual breakfast discussion presented by Fathomers, Torrance will cover the how and why of de-extinction — a lab experiment no longer limited to science fiction movies — and share stories of his current adventures in reviving the great auk.
