Late to the party but: "Is there anyone on HN with deep expertise in this area who can comment on this article's scientific accuracy?" Yes, I do. But I wont do it since beside me expertise I would have to take at least several weeks of full time to dig through the scientific literature and potential patent situation. "Most of us have a limited appetite for 50-dollar lab-grown chicken nuggets." This is where I become skeptical. We are not talking about fusion energy, something that does not violate physical laws but has not been able to work net energy positive in a man made setting. We are talking about something that has been shown it can be down. 50 USD per nugget? What immediately comes to mind is the BCG Experience Curve: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2013/growth-business-unit-strategy-experience-curve-bcg-classics-revisited https://www.bcg.com/publications/2013/growth-business-unit-s... Hence, gut feeling without literature research: He is wrong. Prediction: 1. We will see commercially lab grown meet bigger than lab scale within the next 10-20 years. 2. It will still be a minority market in the next 10-20 years 3. First products will be chicken nuggets, Hamburgers and (surprise) pet food.
