How to Biodesign #12:

Fungi are the future, yet there are different cultivation methods. It matters where you get your fungus from, what kind of bioreactor you use, and if you work with a wild culture or a known safe version. How do you know whether it is dangerous or not? What knowledge and equipment are required to carry out first tests? Let’s talk about fermenting fungi during this How To Biodesign meetup.

How to Biodesign series

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, biodesigner and writer of the book Form Follows Organism) we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

The monthly meetups facilitate interaction between bioneers who are already working and those who want to get started with biodesign and biofabrication, provide a platform for sharing stories and experiences and actively share knowledge, know-how and insights from the meetups to a broader audience.
