What Are Your Next Steps?

Erika Pilpré is a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to starting her undergraduate studies, she interned at Climax Foods in a Sensory and Data Science role. She is also an organizer of Cell Ag @ MIT, a student group spreading awareness about the alternative protein industry and cellular agriculture research. Her advice is to read as much as you can about the industry and to not be afraid to cold email companies in this space.

Here are links to the books I mentioned, Technically Food by Larissa Zimberoff and The Fate of Food by Amanda Little, as well as Climax Foods’ job postings. Also, NotCo is another plant-based company using A.I.
