Tune into this exciting conversation with AAM mentor and dedicated animal activist, Dr. Faraz Harsini.

Dr. Harsini delves into his history in various social justice movements in his hometown in Iran that led him to the Animal Liberation cause.

With a doctorate in Biomedical Sciences focusing on Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics and extensive background as a biomedical scientist in pharmaceutical companies,  involvement in clinical trials, and more, Dr. Harsini's expertise has been immensely valuable in advocating for the need to transition away from using animals in biomedical research toward ethical, human-relevant methods. He is currently a Cultivated Meat Bioprocessing Senior Scientist at the Good Food Institute.

He is also the Founder and CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), a nonprofit seeking to establish a national network of animal advocate students at universities and empowering them to pursue professional careers where their knowledge and expertise will benefit countless animals.

We even talk about his @SelenaGomez tweet that made him go viral on social media AND raised awareness of the importance of respecting and being kind to all species!
