Short thread that lands on a quick read about how @Orbillion1 got started and what we're working on. Grateful to work where there's a shared belief that we're all stronger when we show up as the purposeful, creative, and everlearning humans we are.

There’s a Covid-19 outbreak at Hickman’s egg farm in Arizona. The affected workers are 5 of 140+ incarcerated women who were sent to live and work on the farm during the pandemic. Hickman’s has used prison "work crews" for 25 years.

#Culturedmeat companies still have "a chance to adopt a decentralized model that could avoid the weaknesses of the United States’ monolithic meat industry." Their Achilles heel is exposed = centralization 🙌 @IshaDatar for your voice in this
