olossal Biosciences, a company co-founded by neighbor Ben
Lamm, raised $60 million in funding. The firm is focused on using biosciences and genetic engineering to restore
the woolly mammoth and re-introduce it in the Arctic tundra. "We're making the path to de-extinction and species preservation a reality by bringing the planet one step closer to reversing the downward trend of ecosystem degradation and the staggering loss of biodiversity through cutting-edge genetic tools," Lamm says in a press release.
Ursuline Academy alumna Jennifer Scripps takes over Downtown Dallas Inc. as president and CEO this month. Scripps led the Office of Arts & Culture at the City of Dallas beginning in 2016.
