For the second year in a row, we invited our community to join us in looking back at everything we’ve accomplished this year. New Harvest held our second annual year-in-review call, a tradition started last year to catch up with donors and community members and field questions over Zoom. Thank you to all 80+ community members who zoomed in from around the world, from New Zealand to Budapest!

29. ⏸ Why are we pushing pause?

30. The ecosystem is changing…

31. ...adapt or die!
There is more academic
funding.
What work is most
neglected?
Industry is advancing
toward market.
What work is most
crucial?
⭐️ Empowering Emerging Leaders

32. ...adapt or die!
Designing an effective transdisciplinary environment
Some ideas:
⭐️ Empowering Emerging Leaders
Providing a fellowship experience decoupled from grant funding
Supporting emerging leaders…
…..in neglected disciplines such as social sciences- agricultural/industry policy, economics, law
…..in neglected regions of the world
…..in neglected initiatives that work towards the public good

33. Science Catalyst Program
● An experiment in crowdfunding cell ag work
○ $50k from Robert Downey Jr.’s Footprint Coalition to fund 10-15 cell ag
projects of 1yr/<$5k on experiment.com
● A test balloon for our expansion into the social sciences
