When Could You Join?

All fields in this section are optional — use whichever is easiest. Even a rough sense of your availability helps.

Tell us your availability in your own words

Just tell us when you're free from mid-April to early May. We'll find the best overlap across everyone. Include your time zone if it's not obvious.

Or mark your availability on the grid (optional — click to expand)

Click cells for any time blocks you could join. Click a date to select that row, a time header to select that column, or a week label to select the whole week. All times US Eastern; hover for UK/CET.

Tip: You don't need to fill in the grid if you've described your availability above — either or both is fine.

Which Potential Segments Interest You?

All fields in this section are optional. You don't need to attend the full session — indicate your interest in passive or active participation for each segment. Click ☆ to cycle through priority levels: ★ (interested) or ★★ (high priority). (more about each segment)

TEA Landscape: Where Do They Disagree? (~40 min): Walking through the optimistic-to-pessimistic spectrum (Pasitka → CE Delft → Humbird). Which assumptions drive the 10x cost gap? What's changed since 2022?

Crux 1: Media Costs & Growth Factors (~45 min): The biggest variable cost. GFI's amino acid data vs Humbird's assumptions. Will hydrolysates replace purified growth factors? Realistic media costs per kg by 2036.

Crux 2: Bioreactors, Scale-Up & Cell Density (~40 min): Pharma-grade vs food-grade vs custom-built. Achievable cell densities at scale. Batch vs continuous perfusion. The gap between TEA projections and commercial reality.

CM_01 Beliefs & Synthesis (~40 min): Given the discussion, what will CM cost per kg in 2031, 2036, 2051? Structured beliefs elicitation. Where do we agree/disagree? What research would have highest value of information?

TEA Landscape: Where Do They Disagree?

Optimistic vs pessimistic TEAs, what drives the 10x cost gap (~40 min)

Crux 1: Media Costs & Growth Factors

Amino acids, hydrolysates, growth factors — the biggest variable cost (~45 min)

Crux 2: Bioreactors, Scale-Up & Cell Density

Equipment costs, cell density at scale, batch vs perfusion (~40 min)

CM_01 Beliefs & Synthesis

What will CM cost in 2031/36/51? Beliefs elicitation, key disagreements, next steps (~40 min)

Business, Government & Cost of Capital

Regulatory environment, philanthropic funding landscape, and financing costs

How Is Cultured Meat Produced?

A cost-focused background overview for participants less familiar with the production process

TEA Modeling & Forecasting (Post-Workshop)

Hands-on: constructing TEAs, uncertainty modeling, and forecasting. Extended hack session (2–5 hours, separate day possible)

Brief notes on what you'd like to present or discuss (optional)

Suggest a topic or segment we should add (optional)

Recording & Publication

We hope to record the workshop, provide transcripts, and share discussion materials publicly — adjusting this based on participant preferences and recommendations. Please indicate your preferences:

Comfortable with full public recording, publication, and AI-queryable transcript Comfortable with the above except for specific segments Prefer recording shared only with participants (not publicly) Prefer my segments not be recorded

Your responses help us find the best date and structure for everyone.
