There is an article in Silicon Republic today about the emergence of bioinformatics in Ireland.  I said a few wacky things during the interview and they made it into the article.  Recently there has been an attempt to bring back an extinct species, the Pyrenean Ibex, by nuclear transfer (cloning) and a baby ibex was born, but it died shortly after.  I made the comment that we might see the return of long-dead species, but when I see it written down, it makes me seem like a mad scientist.  I need to be more conservative.
