Great podcast with @mgeist and @pcarrescia on the weak link between patents, innovation, and return!. V important convo especially for technologies for the public good like cell ag, especially as govts (that tend to equate patents w/ innovation) begin to fund this.
The government has been pushed to strongly link its innovation strategy to patents. But what if the correlation is weak at best and may even be harmful to startups that fuel innovation? @pcarrescia joins the @lawbytespod podcast this week to discuss.

always has been.
I LOVE to see scientists winning @futurefieldsHQ @M_AndersonBaron !!! The future of the cultivated meat industry is in the hands of scientists, clearly.

Oh also - having a land acknowledgement is nice but coupling that with a panel comment that Indigenous ppl concerned about their diet need "confidence" to eat indigenous foods via Western science-derived nutritional data . really, really misses the point.

I'd love to be wrong on the last point but need to see evidence. Happy that cell ag/my work is being celebrated visibly but would love to see that come from a place of institutional support instead of solely stories from people who once paid tuition.

Also: U of A claiming success of graduates who have made radical advancements in cell ag, when they received zero support for cell ag while at the university. The only cell ag $ any @UAlberta student received to do any cell ag work that I'm aware of was $ from @NewHarvestOrg.

✅ Asked, on stage, alongside the only other woman POC panelist, how to increase diversity in ag (question not directed to non-POC panelists). ✅ Mistaken for the other woman POC panelist after panel, by audience member who wanted to talk shop.

✅ Suggested that bc I run a non-profit I am a philanthropist (nope no family/husband money funding the org, that would sure be nice).

Let's play woman/POC/ED in STEM bingo, alma mater event edition:. ✅Asked by a faculty member if the man standing beside me, who I introduced as a colleague, was my husband. ✅Asked by event attendee if the man across the room with the same skin color as me was my husband.
