Congratulations on being part of the Sidney Harman Writer-In-Residence Program, Anastasiia.
For primary research on lab-grown meat, consider interviewing experts from:

1. Companies:
- Memphis Meats (CEO Uma Valeti)
- Mosa Meat (CEO Maarten Bosch)
- Just (CEO Josh Tetrick)
- Aleph Farms (CEO Didier Toubia)
2. Research Institutions:
- Tufts University (Professor David Kaplan, Biomedical Engineering)
- University of California, Davis (Professor Alison Van Eenennaam, Animal Science)
- Cornell University (Professor Susan Schroeder, Food Science)
3. Regulatory Agencies:
- FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
- USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
4. Industry Associations:
- Good Food Institute (GFI)
- Cellular Agriculture Society
5. Scientists and Researchers:
- Dr. Mark Post (Maastricht University, pioneer in lab-grown meat)
- Dr. Pat Brown (Stanford University, founder of Impossible Foods)

Reach out to these individuals/organizations via:

1. Email (use your university email for credibility)
2. Phone or video calls
3. In-person interviews (if possible)
4. LinkedIn messages

Prepare thoughtful questions, such as:

1. What drives the growth of the lab-grown meat industry?
2. How do you address scalability and cost-effectiveness?
3. What are the biggest regulatory challenges?
4. How do you ensure product safety and quality?
5. What role do you see lab-grown meat playing in the future of food?
Some additional resources:
1. National Geographic's "The Future of Food" series
2. The Guardian's "Lab-grown meat" coverage
3. Scientific American's "Clean Meat" articles

Ensure you fact-check and verify information, and properly cite your sources.

Good luck with your article, Anastasiia!
