Re: [DIYbio] Counter Culture Labs + BioCurious do iGEM: Real Vegan Cheese!

Hi Yuriy,
It's not clear who you're speaking to, as you've cut the reply block
out. I can say, at least, that the idea of artificial milk has even
occurred to me in the past, and I'm merely a strict vegetarian rather
than a vegan.

Ideas often occur in parallel. The plane was invented by two groups
simultaneously, as was (IIRC) the telephone, electricity, and (nearly)
the nuclear bomb. Ideas have their "time", when the conditions and
inspirations are right, and usually a handful of groups will encounter
the idea and the means at the same time.

I can say, at least, that the Muufri guys (who I'm acting as pro-bono
mentor to, I should add) were not initially aware of the CounterCulture
team, so that's another datum towards parallel innovation.
