My first feature article is out in @sciam 's January issue today! A lack of sexual attraction was long seen as a problem that needed to be fixed. Now, research on asexuality is expanding ideas of love and intimacy. I owe a huge thank you to...

Cultivated meat promises to be better for animals, public health and the planet. So why can the idea invoke disgust?
