After producing the first cow-less burger back in 2013, Mark became the public face of cultured meat. That first burger cost a massive $250,000 to grow, financed by Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google. The price has since dropped to around $10 per burger.

In conversation with Bruce Friedrich, Co Founder and Executive Director or the Good Food Institute, Mark will discuss the latest scientific developments in the cultured meat revolution together with the overwhelming benefits for our health, the environment and for animals.

Vaccine reluctance and refusal are no longer limited to the margins of society. Debates around vaccines’ necessity ― along with questions around their side effects ― have gone mainstream, blending with geopolitical conflicts, political campaigns, celebrity causes, and ‘natural’ lifestyles to win a growing number of hearts and minds.

Expanding on themes from her new book, ‘Stuck’, Heidi  examines how the issues surrounding vaccine hesitancy are, more than anything, about people feeling left out of the conversation.  She provides a clear-eyed examination of the social vectors that transmit vaccine rumours, their manifestations around the globe, and how these individual threads are all connected.
