Lab-grown food that tastes like real meat could be transformational. It can improve animal welfare (no death), climate change (uses less water, creates less GHGs), biodiversity (less farmland = more nature), hygiene (eg. no bird flu), and more. Interesting to see how this goes. 🧪

Ice makes your organoids go bang in poor thawing protocols. Accept low yields and variable results, or fix the problem with electrically controlled freeze-thaw. Same great result every time. Small and cost-effective. Every stem cell or organoids lab needs one. 🧪

Civilization is tissue-thin. Dead ones were great once, too. Read Jared Diamond's "Collapse" for an analysis of how it happens. Or Shelley's "Ozymandias" for a more poetic warning.🧪
