32,000 years ago, an arctic squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended. Its body was recovered and examined. Scientists germinated this plant seed. This silene stenophylla just bloomed.
It is 32,000 years old

As a scientist, I have always learned so much and benefited from working with art and STS, and it’s been interesting to see new intersections today in light of these big shifts in the world.
