Meet the writers contributing to The Fermentalist
Hi, I am Manya Kadiwala and I am the editor of The Fermentalist! As an 18-year-old deciding to study fermentation, I was always asked, “Why fermentation?” This newsletter is my answer to that. Fermentation is more than just winemaking or brewing—it’s a powerful tool for innovation, sustainability, and even space exploration. Here, I share groundbreaking inventions, emerging technologies, and speculative ideas that could reshape industries. Whether it's microbes turning CO₂ into food, fermentation revolutionizing medicine, or bioengineering pushing the boundaries of what's possible, this newsletter explores the science and possibilities that inspire me.
