Chick Flick

Romance, science, and danger collide in this “beautifully written reminder . . . never mess with Mother Nature!” (New York Times–bestselling author Michael Levin).

Scarlet is young, sassy, and idealistic biology student on the cusp of a breakthrough discovery. It has the potential to change the way that one of agriculture’s biggest players works—the egg-laying industry. If she can prove her theory and produce results she’ll be able to end the suffering of billions of innocent creatures and revolutionize a notorious dirty business with clean technology. Scarlet should be the queen of the hatchery.

She’s found a supportive partner, a biotech startup guru, a mysterious angel investor and a sexy rogue journalist who promises to follow every step of her success. She also finds herself deep in a dangerous conspiracy where commerce trumps morality, and loyalties are not what they seem. Now it’s not only Scarlet research that’s threatened. So is her life.

Noga Porat

Noga Porat finished an M.Sc. in the Biochemistry Dept from Tel Aviv University, Israel in 2001, a B.Sc. in 1998 and a B.A. in Philosophy in 1996. She then volunteered in the Veterinary Institute, Israel where she was first exposed to the practices of the Egg Laying Industry (‘The Layers’). Two Billion male chicks are disposed of and this happens worldwide, yearly. This led Noga to eventually open her own company in 2004, NiKagen Biotech Ltd. The company goal was to develop a method to determine the sex of the chick while still in the egg; in ovo chick sexing. She is still working on developing the prototype and wrote Chick Flick to ignite a public discussion on this issue.
