2021-12-03 14:30 - 16:00 | Roberton Hall Bowl 2 for PUID, Washington Road, Princeton
Ever wondered what it’s like to be at the cutting edge of food, technology, and climate change? Think: meat made from plants, fermented leather, and more. In this first-ever panel, three recent alums, Sophie Moscovici-Troyka ’19, Christina Karas ’19, and Alice Wistar ’20 discuss their experience working in the alternative meat space—at Impossible Foods (a plant-based beef, pork, and now chicken company), Modern Meadow (a company using cellular agriculture to make materials), and Black Sheep Foods (a plant-based lamb and wild game meat company). From their day-to-day work on the overarching mission, business strategy, product launches, and long-term vision of each company, learn what it’s like to work in a rapidly growing startup at the forefront of food technology and climate change mitigation.
