Karl Cameron Schiller briefly explains the AstroNematode experiment and starts a flight configuration experiment for NASA safety testing. The goal is to make sure nothing unexpected happens that could pos problems on station. It also gives us a chance to practice setting up the experiment and to streamline our protocols.

Future of Agriculture Podcast Host, Tim Hammerich, interviewed Mr. Mike selden who is the Co-founder and CEO of Finless foods. a startup that aims for a more sustainable future through advanced cellular agriculture technologies. Their projects revolve around growing fish meat and other seafood products from cells. Mike is a trained biochemist and has experience working as a researcher and educator. He also has researched numerous ways to solve food crises in Africa as well as marine conservation in South East Asia. “We’re growing it directly from the cells, so no whole animals are needed after that first initial sample.” – Mike Selden Explaining the case for cell-grown meat and why it’s exciting.… Read More
