Sarah is a Research Professor in the Department of Global Development with a joint appointment in the School of Integrative Plant Sciences in the College of Agriculture at Cornell University. She serves as the founding Director of the Cornell Alliance for Science a global communications effort that promotes evidence-informed decision-making across a range of science issues. She teaches courses on agricultural biotechnology at the graduate and undergraduate level and is part of an interdisciplinary team that developed a massive open online course (MOOC) on the science and politics of GMOs on Cornell’s EdX platform. She is an adjunct faculty member at the Boyce Thompson Institute and a Senior Fellow at the Breakthrough Institute. Sarah was instrumental in launching the CALS initiative, AWARE (Advancing Women in Agriculture through Research and Education) which promotes women in agriculture.

As
The Western Journal points out, the Food and Agricultural Organization predicted a global shortage of protein-rich foods following the COVID-19 pandemic wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and approximately one billion people in the world suffer from protein deficiency, according to the Cornell Alliance for Science.
In wealthier nations, then, synthetic beef is a good place to start to solve that protein problem and slow the effects of climate change, too. Here’s Gates, via the
Technology Review:
“You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand. But [.] the politics [are challenging]. There are all these bills that say it’s got to be called, basically, lab garbage to be sold. They don’t want us to use the beef label.”
Bill Gates, Climate Warrior – and Super Emitter Details
Bill Gates has a new book out:
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. But some people are less than amused at having to take lessons on the climate crisis from a billionaire who, in the words of the ETC Group, “made a fortune skirting government regulations with monopolistic practices, and holds a significant financial stake in the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry.”
The following article by Tim Schwab makes clear just how extensive those fossil fuel investments are and how much they are at odds with Bill Gates’ claims. But at the same time as holding significant financial interests in fossil fuel extraction and fossil fuel dependent industries, quite apart from having a massive personal carbon footprint, Gates is also embracing large-scale planetary interventions via risky geoengineering.
