Actress Sophie Turner, best known for her iconic role as Sansa Stark on “Game of Thrones,” swapped her medieval kingdom for a cutting-edge adventure in biotech at this year’s SXSW London.
As a member of the Cultural Advisory Board for Colossal BioSciences, the company at the forefront of “de-extinction” science, Sophie Turner joined forces with the visionary team to reveal some truly jaw-dropping developments in the world of science.
Sophie Turner Gets Real With Science
At the packed event, Turner took to the stage alongside Colossal’s co-founder, Ben Lamm, in a fireside chat that left the audience on the edge of their seats.
The duo unveiled an astonishing breakthrough. Colossal’s successful de-extinction of the dire wolf, an extinct species that once roamed North America.
And as if that wasn’t mind-blowing enough, they also shared that the long-lost howls of these creatures will soon be heard again for the first time ever, marking a historic moment where science and fantasy collide.
Drawing Parallels Between Colossal’s Groundbreaking Work And Turner’s Love For Transformative Stories
Turner’s enthusiasm was palpable as she spoke to the crowd, reminding them of how deeply she’s always been drawn to stories of transformation.
“I’ve always been drawn to stories of transformation,” Turner said in an exclusive statement sent to The Blast via email. “Working with Colossal feels like bringing a bit of fantasy to life.”
Her words perfectly encapsulated the thrilling work being done at Colossal, as she reflected on how these groundbreaking scientific efforts mirror the kind of transformative storytelling that captured her heart as an actress.
