In this talk, Shapiro will detail from the entrepreneurial visionaries, to the scientists’ workshops, to the big business boardrooms, the quest for clean meat and other animal products and examines the debate raging around it.

Paul Shapiro is also a TEDx speaker and the founder of Compassion Over Killing, a nonprofit animal advocacy organization centered in Washington DC. In addition, Shapiro worked for the Humane Society of the United States as vice president and spokesperson.
