Join us for dinner and an engaging UCLA Conversation with Amy Rowat, UCLA’s Marcie H. Rothman Professor of Food Studies, and our annual EA Presentation of Awards. Professor Rowat will discuss with Stuart Wolpert “Science and Food,” including her research on cultured meat; her courses on science, food and society; and UCLA’s leadership in food studies. Professor Rowat advances knowledge of science through food and food through science. One of the goals of her research is to grow animal protein in a laboratory for food. Her research holds the potential to meet the food needs of the world’s growing population, without slaughtering animals. She has also developed a new platform to rapidly determine cellular stiffness — which could ultimately lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases.
