In my latest for @BTI, I discuss persisting scientific challenges that could prevent the wide-scale commercialization of cultivated meat products, drawing upon insights I gleaned from the 8th International Conference on Cultivated Meat: https://t.co/e7CRNzArEu. (1/4)

Check out my latest post with @COScienceNet diving into what’s been happening with the CO River and the need for the development of long term solutions to address pressing water shortage concerns.

[CO Local Science Engagement Network @COScienceNet]

There's been a lot of buzz about the Colorado River recently. In our newest post, we cover what's been driving the recent insurgence of media attention, the history of the river's governance, and current demand pressures depleting the river's water supply. https://t.co/cYgeRw6gH3

Thanks @KOAColorado for having me on your show this morning! Great to see our local Colorado news discussing the important issue of FLW @CUBoulderENVS @CIRESnews @csef_cuboulder

@jan_dutkiewicz I had this exact same thought in reading this article - unfortunately, it seems that more nuanced perspectives from those that have been working in the field for years have been neglected in recent reporting

I recently asked an undergrad in our department what topics she would like to learn more about. She responded: "the Colorado River water use impacts of agriculture." Very glad that this important topic is starting to gain more media attention. https://t.co/geLzyjIMa0

As the climate changes, so too much our agricultural practices and technologies. Check out the lecture this Thursday, 4:30-6pm, by Dr. Pamela Ronald on how to breed crops for more resilience

[CUBoulderENVS @CUBoulderENVS]

What a wonderful success for the @CUBoulderENVS and MENV! The 30th/20th/7th year reunion that stretched through the weekend to commemorate #EarthDay and the successes ENVS has had thus far. Thank you to everyone who could make it. If you couldn't, keep your eyes peeled for more!

Feel free to share this open access article widely with your networks. If you have questions or reflections, please reach out to the lead author @DuenasOcampo or I-- we'd love to hear your thoughts!🙂

[Waverly Eichhorst @waveeich]

It was a pleasure to collaborate with @DuenasOcampo and Dr. Peter Newton on our newly published paper mapping the technological trajectories of cultivated and plant-based meat in the US through a socio-technical transitions lens: https://t.co/AOYuXEPTWt.

[Waverly Eichhorst @waveeich]

If you're short on time, I recommend checking out the the research agenda (Table 1), which outlines important questions regarding the future technological trajectories of cultivated and plant-based meat.

“While it’s possible to decouple growth from env. harm, that’s not automatic. To combine rising living standards with an improving environment, we need policies that encourage the use of technologies that cause less environmental damage.”

Lab-grown meat can be truly transformational for food systems. But, it's still new: little is known about its social and economic dimensions.
Fascinating area to do impactful research.🔥🔥🔥
Congrats to @waveeich for a great piece.
