Our work also explains HOW to expand our understanding of insect protein—an ingredient with over two thousand species with widely drastic flavor profiles, textures, and functionality. 🎥🎙📸 📰 Grateful to have my work featured in The NY Times (2x), Washington Post (3x), Boston Globe, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, CNBC, Forbes, Smithsonian Channel, Live with Kelly and Ryan (3x), Lifehacker, Inside Edition, Vice, BBC, Popular Science (2x), Gizmodo, Reuters, Korea Daily, Wired, and much more.
