Yeast biologist interested in metabolism and genomics. Cultivated meat skeptic. If you misuse the word "fermentation", I *WILL* come after you. Allergic to buzzwords in general. Any opinions expressed here are my own, nothing to do with my employer.
I could always pick up the influence of Technotronic in your music…

Check out “chemosynthesis”, which is a process that predates photosynthesis and is being harnessed by companies like Solar Foods and Air Protein.

The biochemical and biogeochemical arguments are intricate but the biochemical case against cultivated meat is basically: no optimal way of feeding the cells glucose and amino acids. Biogeochemical argument has to do with how nitrogen gets into the amino acids (see pic). Be happy to elaborate.

The publicity bit or the biochemistry/biogeochemistry bit? Or both?

My take: A cultivated meat ban is great publicity for cultivated meat because it implies that it could actually work as a concept (which it can't in reality for reasons of biochemistry and biogeochemistry.)

As a university lecturer, this article has upended my day somewhat since I often tell my students to visualize certain scenarios. If aphantasia is prevalent among STEM researchers (and therefore STEM teachers), could this explain some of the pedagogical shortcomings I observe with some colleagues?

Only to its friends. To anyone else, it's "Robert-Catherine".
