I want to add some color to the key points of contention highlighted two months ago in The Counter article.
This will be the last I'll say on this for a while. Long 🧵!

As mentioned in my perspective piece, despite how they are portrayed, the CE Delft & Humbird TEAs are actually quite similar in their high-level findings IMO.
I think there's some confusion around a lack of #cultivatedmeat (CM)-relevant cell lines & the role of private industry vs. public funds in alleviating this issue. Conversation on this topic spurred by this recent article & below:
Private industry has pioneered CM & brought concept to reality in <6 years. This has spurred investments into industry, which may be >$1B total by year end. This is good. We don't have time to waste in developing CM. We need urgency & investment to be matched by the public sector
