Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Biotech startup Colossal has developed an artificial eggshell that allows almost the entire avian development process to occur. Its device keeps the entire contents of an egg intact so the embryo can develop normally. The transfer of the egg contents can take place before the circulatory system forms. The artificial container allows scientists to make changes to the embryo more easily and makes it easier to film and track changes to cell movements and rearrangements.
