If you're a scientist, how different would your work look like if publishing requirements were abolished? If grant cycles were gone? If you were paid to train in a different field?

The structure of your research institute shapes how you think.

New research institutions are being designed so that scientists can think more creatively and take bigger bets, with the goal of producing more breakthroughs.

If you really love America and care about Making America Healthy Again, you should love cultivated meat (or at very least, get out of the way while we try to build it...) 🤠🚀

"I’ve been struggling to describe the experience, because cultivated meat short-circuits my brain — my mouth thinks I’m eating a real pork meatball, but my brain knows that it’s fundamentally different and that Dawn didn’t have to die for it." - @grist

An op-ed spicier than MB's meatballs.

NEW: America loves tech again. The Trump admin has been generally pro-innovation. Yet when it comes to food... even the loudest techno-optimists sound more like the Amish.

PSA from @cclwnchng: stop demonizing lab-grown meat. Let the scientists cook 👇

🛒 CULTIVATED MEAT WAS SOLD IN US RETAIL FOR THE FIRST TIME 💫
On Saturday afternoon, shoppers at Berkeley Bowl West lined up to be the first to put cultivated pork in their grocery baskets. (a thread)

[Mission Barns @MissionBarns]

Run, don’t walk, to aisle 16 at Berkeley Bowl on Nov 1 🛒 🏃‍♀️

We’re kicking off Bites from the Barn, a new series bringing our cultivated pork directly to you — starting with our first-ever grocery sale.

Who’s having cultivated meatballs for dinner? 🍝✨

Congrats to @MissionBarns for making the first ever sale of cultivated pork. They are the 6th company to have sold cultivated meat around the world. Here's the current breakdown:

[Bianca Lê @drbiancale]

@CraftmeatI Thank you!! We can't wait for you to try it one day :D

[Bianca Lê @drbiancale]

Last night, pork meatball pasta was sold at an Italian restaurant. That’s it. Nothing flashy, just the same dish people order on a weeknight, time and time again. And that’s exactly the point.

✨ The guests for our first sale pop-up have been chosen! ✨

This is only the beginning! Stay tuned for upcoming events and more chances to taste Mission Barns with us. 🍴 Thank you for all the excitements!

[Bianca Lê @drbiancale]

ICYMI, @MissionBarns is hosting a restaurant pop up series this month. We'll be picking winners soon so get in quick!
I may be biased, but the meatballs & bacon are legit v delicious (I eat conventional meat). Menu is vegan, except for the cultivated pork.

Cultivated meatballs, bacon, and salami made without animal slaughter will soon be sold in U.S. grocery stores for the first time (one Sprouts market in Oakland).

The pig that donated the cells is still alive, living happily in upstate NY:

@mattyglesias @mattyglesias - please come to SF next month and try our cultivated pork at a restaurant! DM me and I'll also give you a tour of our facility :)

[Bianca Lê @drbiancale]

@naval @EdLatimore Hey @naval, looks like that future you predicted in 2019 is finally here 😏. I'd love for you to taste the world’s first cultivated pork sold at a restaurant with us. Fiorella, SF - let me know if you'd like to come!

[Elliot Swartz @elliotswartz]

Congrats to @MissionBarns, which has received a safety greenlight from FDA & now a USDA grant of inspection, clearing the way to sell cultivated meatball/bacon products. They will be on the menu at a restaurant in San Francisco & in local Sprouts markets shortly thereafter.

[Mission Barns @MissionBarns]

🚀 Big news! Mission Barns will launch Cultivated Meatballs & Bacon in retail & restaurants!

🥓 Fiorella SF will be the 1st restaurant to serve cultivated pork
🛒 Sprouts will be the 1st retailer to sell it

Following FDA clearance, we're making history—real pork, no animal! 🐷

[Mission Barns @MissionBarns]

We may be on the west coast, but we sure love a classic New York pizza slice🗽

Thin, crispy, and topped with Mission Barns’ savory pepperoni (and, of course, crushed pepper flakes 👌)—what more do you need.

What should we top next? Tell us below 👇

[Mission Barns @MissionBarns]

Revolutionizing meat production starts with reimagining the animal's role. But why stop there? Let's revolutionize the bioreactor too.
