Saving Our Planet is Not a Cliche
For this Researcher it’s the Center of What Matters: In this episode, host Molly Livingstone speaks with Prof. Yael Mishael. After following her heart into environmental studies, she quickly became the black sheep of her family…of artists. However, her passion gave her the drive to not only take on research, but become a leader in green tech as the Hebrew University’s Director of the Center for Sustainability. In this episode we discuss it all, from tips on how you can live a more sustainable lifestyle, to how waste can even effect good wine, and why yes the cliche: “saving our planet,” is still relevant and more important than ever.
The Superwomen Behind the New SuperFood?
In this episode, host Molly Livingstone speaks with the young co-founders CEO Dr. Jasmin Ravid and CTO Dr. Daria Feldman behind Kinoko-Tech, a startup harnessing the power of fungi and deep-tech fermentation to produce the next generation of superfood – sustainable, delicious and highly nutritious. In this candid conversation, you’ll learn about how the three women founders went from a group full of strangers in a Hebrew University accelerator to a winning team and eventually how they left academia for industry. They share their experiences as they head into another funding round, scaling up, and why they are as passionate about their product, as they are knowledgeable.
