2. Institutional reform and technology are the best ways forward to make meaningful impact on animals. Until we find a more effective form of animal rights activism (ie. maybe social media, per Faunanalytics), our focus should be on reform/tech.

1. There has been little to no progress in the % of vegans in the U.S, and only marginal progress abroad. Our current activism doesn't work, and we should identify if this is a problem with the *type* of activism, or activism itself.

4 Lessons from History for Animal Advocacy What the Past Can Teach Us About Accelerating Progress for Animals

My friend @feedingprogress.bsky.social wrote this article on the state of animal consumption. Please subscribe to his substack. Here are the major takeways:

I've officially given my 2.5 week notice to Google so I can work on cellular agriculture (or potentially plant based proteins/foods) in the future 😁

Ukraine loses 220 troops on same day of Trump and Zelenskyy spat Ukraine lost 220 troops on the battlefield on the same day its president had a fiery fallout with President Donald Trump in the White House leading to the collapse of a mineral deal.

Fox News is now using Russian reported numbers for Ukrainian KIA - to tell you how absurd this is, Russia has on several occasions claimed to destroy more equipment than actually exists on the battlefield. www.foxnews.com/politics/ukr...

What makes a specific bioprocess viable vs not? My cofounder and I are trying to enter this field, but we want to be careful with the proteins/bioprocesses we target, and what kind of cost model to use to assess viability.

Plant-Based Proteins:

Already on the market, and the ones that are already profitable. The goal with these is to reduce their costs compared to their meat alternatives.

Precision Fermentation:

Pharma companies use this. They take some organism (ie. yeast), and use it to make insulin that normally would come from a pig. We can make whey and casein this way, but lots of challenges exist. Read Industrial Biotechnology Commercialization Handbook to understand issues.

Also, follow the vegan lists if you haven't already 😜

😂 probably not as well as twitter

Clean Meat:

This is the lab grown meat stuff you all have probably heard of. A good primer is Clean Meat by Paul Shapiro. This field is the most behind - there have been several advances, but it requires significant capital, and has issues (contamination, yield, taste).

One of my new missions (with @adityanair.bsky.social and @nimishamehta.bsky.social), is to switch entirely to the alt protein sector, and have other vegans do so too. There are 3 very promising sectors:

1. Clean Meat
2. Precision Fermentation
3. Plant-Based Proteins

Will elaborate below.

How do you only have 18 followers? I'm trying to have famous friends here and you're failing me.

Hey all! I'm interested in moving away from tech companies into the clean meat/alt protein space. If you have any advice, please let me know!
