Congratulations to @SOSV @sean_os1 @pobronson @DuncanAJTurner and everyone else on the latest fund!

Congrats to @WindfallBio raising an oversubscribed $28M series A. Dilute methane emissions are the fastest way to curb GHG and fix our fertilizer supply chain. Excited to partner with Prelude Ventures on the next phase of the journey bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @climate

@amyli0 @join_polaris Awesome! Second hand equipment for the win! Look at auctions and companies that are shutting down. Doesn't have to be the latest and greatest but it does have to work. Good luck!

@arvndgpta a bunch of us from @join_polaris are brainstorming a bio + mechanical hackspace and community hub in central london. what were some ways you were able to build up the lab spaces at indiebio with minimal funding?

Our CEO Josh Silverman attended the @AnimalAgTech this week. Great points by Frank Mitloehner from UC Davis that 80% of #methaneemissions from cows come from the developing world, and productivity increases will have much more impact than enteric reductions.

HAX's New Global HQ is opening in Newark in the coming weeks! It's going to be fantastic. @SOSV @hax_co Backing 30+ new startups per year in deep tech biology, chemistry, robotics, electronics, etc. Congrats Ji Ke, Susan, Duncan, Andy and the WHOLE TEAM AT Newark. njbiz.com/hax-moves-clos…

Last night I was lucky to be among the first group in New York to get to taste chicken grown from a droplet of muscle cells. It was.... DELICIOUS. Succulent, moist, the right texture. Chicken as it should be. Even though full commercialization is a way off, it made me excited for the future. It also made me even more frustrated with a tiredly cynical article in the NYT at the weekend "the revolution that died on the way to dinner". As if it were ever going to be easy to transform the way 8 billion humans feed themselves. This chicken came from Upside Foods, whose founder and CEO @UmaValeti is one of the most inspiring and impressive entrepreneurs I've met. The beautiful facilities he's building will allow this next-gen meat to start to become cost competitive. Let me tell you something about those facilities. They're housed in glass. Nothing to hide. Inside are large, clean metal containers for growing this meat, and growing it in half the time it takes for modern, artificially inflated chickens to grow. Those chickens, by contrast, are not grown behind glass. They're shielded inside closed-off massive meat factories. And for a reason. If we could see the hell-hole of cages, feathers, beaks, chickenshit, bird-flu, antibiotics and, worst of all, brains tortured with a short but horrifying life of suffering, we'd throw up before downing our next drumstick. To imply as the NYT did that next-gen meat will be slowed by some kind of ick factor is a woeful under-estimation of human adaptability. When the truth will out - and it will when there's actually an alternative available - the ick factor will run the other way. This technology really matters. It will probably be impossible to lure humans away from our meat addiction. I personally love meat. I want it to be part of my future. And last night I saw a glimpse of how that can happen in a way that will be both delicious and kind -- to our fellow creatures, and to the planet. I'm not an investor in Upside. But I wish I was. I certainly would not bet against them. When you peel back to the fundamentals, a system in which you're using your nutrients only to grow meat, instead of bone, brain, feathers, claws and beaks, and to do so in a shorter time horizon, has every chance to become cost competitive. I predict the New York Times will be proved embarrassingly wrong on this one. Just because a better future is hard to build, doesn't mean we should stop. For me, I'll throw my lot in with the determined, the visionary. Uma, an honor to meet you.

Thank you @BillGates for the support! To change global dietary habits (and reverse climate change) we need to make meat that people know and love at price points they can afford. vimeo.com/910640468

A batch 1 rockstar! Congrats to the team

The results are in! Meat eaters, vegans and even skeptics of animal-free cheese are all open to a more sustainable, nutritious mozzarella on their pizza. Download the full research report: newculture.com/papers/

Glad to see methane gain the attention it deserves to quickly curb GHG emissions

another great milestone reached by @theEVERYcompany in combination with one of the world's greatest restaurants (11 Madison) and chefs, @danielhumm Congrats @arturoeliz and team! #BackedBy @SOSV @indbio greenqueen.com.hk/the-every-co-e…
