SUMMARY:2026 Don Rix Distinguished Keynote Address
DESCRIPTION:Can we really bring back the mammoth? \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, paleogenomicist Beth Shapiro walks through what it actually takes to revive an extinct species and why the honest answer is more interesting than the myth. \nDrawing on decades of work sequencing ancient DNA\, Shapiro breaks down the real science behind de-extinction: what we can learn from mammoth genomes\, why cloning a mammoth is impossible and what scientists are doing instead. \nShe explains how the same genetic tools being developed for de-extinction are already being used to help living species survive and what a cold-tolerant\, mammoth-like elephant could mean for Arctic ecosystems. \nJoin Dr. Beth Shapiro for the 2026 Don Rix Distinguished Keynote Address! \n\n\n\nYou don’t want to miss this special event  \n\n\n\nWhen:  Monday\, November 2\, 2026 \n4:00 – 4:30 PM Registration\n4:30 – 6:00 PM Keynote Address and Q&A\n6:00 – 7:00 PM Reception \nWhere: Vancouver Convention Centre West Building \n Admission is free\, however registration is required.
