    Ariane Krause on appropriate technology, compost toilets, and bridging practice, research and policy

    For this edition we spoke to Ariane Krause, engineer, researcher, and founding member of KAnTe (Kollektiv für Angepasste Technik - in English, “Collective for Appropriate Technology”) about their work around sustainable technologies. Focusing primarily composting, charcoal and favourite topic, compost toilets, they host workshops and produce educational materials as well as coordinating larger projects. We take a deep dive into their ongoing efforts to bring activists, small companies, and researchers together for collaborative research to lay the groundwork for a campaign to change the legal framework around waste processing in Germany that blocks more widespread use of compost toilets.

    Célya Gruson-Daniel on the bigger picture of Open Science

    Open Science is a concept understood very differently by those taking part in it. Institutions and administrations focus on funding for publications, researches care about open access to their publications and the public wants to be an integral part of the scientific process. With Célya Gruson-Daniel, co-founder of hack your phd, we take the situation of France and it's recent bill on digital legislation as an example to explore the meta concepts of open science.

    Kat Austen on DIY science, art practice, and creating empathy with the environment

    Kat Austen combines art and science as an independent artist and researcher. Deeply concerned with environmental issues, she started out as an academic chemist, but now combines artistic research, installations, workshops and performances to inspire empathy with the natural world and convey a sense of urgency for action. In this episode, we talk about her deep connection to science, the DIY science aspect of her work, and the challenges she faces in sustaining her practice.

    Winnie Poncelet from ReaGent, Magma Nova and more

    Winnie Poncelet is the co-founder of ReaGent and Magma Nova, among others, in Gent Belgium. For the last years Winnie worked with a growing community of biohackers and found interesting ways of being productive, research different topics and become good friends. Winnie's expertise lies in growing fungi as a new biomaterial to replace plastics and other conventional materials. We were really happy to have him on the podcast to talk about what can go wrong when growing insects in your basement, what to do with a gifted 454 sequencer, and where the name Magma Nova comes from.
