Well, this Tom Scott video, which features a short interview with the (still sharp) James Lovelock (age 101) was very interesting:
Did I know before this that rock-solid frozen rodents were capable of revival? I think I had read about this, many years ago, although I don't think I knew Lovelock had been involved. (If you asked me, I would have assumed it was research done in the United States). It does certainly explain why science fiction from the 1960's on thought that this was a prospect for humans too.
As for James Lovelock - as I have noted before, we can safely ignore his opinions on climate change now, but he is still a remarkable and pretty charming man.
