Did you know that with some high-tech lab techniques it is actually possible to grow muscle tissue in the lab \u2013 hence the topic \u201cLab Grown Meat\u201d. As it turns out, later this year Mark Post and fellow Dutch researchers are planning a big release of their lab grown hamburger. It\u2019s a bit like culturing yogurt \u2013 well, sort of. A few cells could go a long ways, but what does this mean? Will this technology help improve the environment? Will people want to eat meat grown in the lab? These are just a few questions you may find yourself asking. Fortunately, it\u2019s the topic of this week\u2019s Untamed Science video. Haley helps explain exactly what this is and how it\u2019s done. Hopefully, it helps spur a great deal of conversation in the classroom and beyond. Watch the video on our YouTube Channel here.
