Cost effective lab grown meat is worth working on for a couple reasons, one is that being able to have high quality meat without killing animals would be cool, the other is that you have to solve a lot of difficult cell biology problems to do it which will have cool implications in other places

Who doesn’t like a heaping helping of thermostabilized wet meat product on Thanksgiving? Behold of a turkey with gravy prototype for NASA’s Apollo program, cooked up by the kitchen labs at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in 1969.

This post and the subsequent replies are, and I mean this as a compliment, *extremely* good propaganda especially for the short video documentary age. Come learn some things.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

No one suggests that we kick out white Americans because of Jeffrey Dahmer. Why not extend Afghans the same right to be treated as individuals, especially since many Afghans who made it here risked their lives to help our soldiers?

2 kids who should never have been sent to DC and who likely did not want to be there are dead bc of a political stunt. Regardless of the proximate reasons these deaths happened, the ultimate outcome will be days of right wing rage followed by worse decisions that put more people at risk.
