A "Meat Scientist" — That's a real thing?

[Mark at EXO]

I had no idea that a "meat scientist" was a real thing until a podcast listener suggested that we get Sierra Jepsen of Butcher Solutions on the show. She was a fantastic guest, and I learned a ton from her. Thought you guys in this sub-forum would enjoy the podcast as well...

Find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or our site.

Sierra also did a couple of super helpful videos with Sitka here and here.

Yep, they are real degrees and careers. I listened to one when I went to a week long processing seminar in Kansas City. He knew his stuff but was extremely boring to listen to simply because he couldn’t interact and dumb it down for a bunch of dumb butchers.

I was a wheat scientist for the longest three weeks of my life…. Eight hours per day in a lab analyzing the contents of different strains of wheat. My ex wanted me to get a real job. I have never been more bored in my entire existence.

It was the last time I attempted to have a “real” job… I couldn’t wait to get back to running cnc’s and designing.

I enjoyed the podcast a lot. I also didn’t realize that a meat scientist was a real thing but hell yeah why not.

I just listened to this today, I learned a lot, and realized I don’t know shit about meat! Great podcast!

Great listen. Thanks for putting that out there. I was hoping for a little more info on how hanging effects the tenderness of meat. I’m curious if anyone has ever taken two quarters from the same animal, hung one for a few days and cut one up immediately to see how much difference there actually is.
