They did the high school science experiment of carefully cracking an egg into a sterilized cup and covering it with plastic wrap, then incubating on a rocker.

A lot of the science community has been mocking them over it because it's been known for decades that that works. Even worse mockery than the "oh we modified 2 genes on these grey wolves. Look we de-extincted dire wolves". Neither species is related. It wasn't even novel gene modification like when clear frogs were made decades ago or cats that glow under UV light.
