Animal welfare lightning talks
Sam Perkins, Ren Springlea, Michael Dello-Iacovo
Cellular Agriculture has the potential to create a more ethical, accessible and sustainable food system. However, this potential won't be realised unless the sector can overcome a number of significant and pressing challenges, such as accessing regulatory approval, scaling manufacture and gaining social acceptance. Cellular Agriculture Australia focuses exclusively on the non-competitive challenges and opportunities facing the sector in Australia.
Ren Springlea: Why you should pursue a career in animal advocacy (even if you're a longtermist!)
Working in animal advocacy is both really enjoyable and an opportunity to have an immense impact. I'll explain why animal advocacy could be a great option for you, especially if you're worried your skills or moral frameworks might make animal advocacy a less competitive option. I'll also discuss some resources for getting started.
Michael Dello-Iacovo: Key considerations for longtermist animal advocates: Overlaps and opportunities
Longtermism and animal advocacy are often discussed separately. However, by neglecting the other, longtermists and animal advocates may be missing out on key considerations to maximise their impact. In this talk, Michael will give an overview of the overlap between longtermism and animal advocacy, and discuss some important considerations that proponents of both should keep in mind.
Sam has taken on many roles around sustainability, strategy, and R&D, and today is the CEO of Cellular Agriculture Australia.
Ren works as a Research Scientist at Animal Ask. They are also co-founding a new project focusing on humane fish slaughter in Mediterranean fish farms, and have been involved with the Animal Justice Party.
Michael currently works for the Sentience Institute as Strategy Lead & Researcher. He has also co-founded The Life You Can Save Adelaide, has been the CEO of Effective Altruism Australia, and has been involved with the Animal Justice Party.
