I am an early career (1 year) software engineer who got interested in effective altruism recently and specifically animal welfare. Through conversations with 80,000 Hours AI career advising I found that alternative meats seem to be a promising avenue for me, especially because I majored in computational chemistry and did computational research for multiple professors during undergrad (using graph neural networks to do RNA structure prediction, running large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, building scientific tooling, performing electronic structure calculations). I was wondering if people have advice for getting further into the field and what kinds of computational chemistry work is specifically being done in the alternative protein area.
Hi! From the title I thought you were offering advice. You might want to add something like "looking for/help requested" so people know to click and suggest ideas and recommend connections
