Karl and Erum are joined by Nancy Diniz, Co-Founder of bioMATTERS LLC, to explore the future of biodesign and sustainable materials. Drawing on her background in architecture and digital fabrication, Nancy unpacks how bioMATTERS is creating novel mycelium- and microbe-based materials that are not only biodegradable but alive. The conversation traverses speculative design, the challenge of scaling living materials, and the cultural shift needed to embrace biology as a partner in production. With humor and insight, Nancy shares how her work sits at the intersection of art, science, and ecology—and why the next generation of materials must be rooted in systems thinking.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Karl and Erum speak with Dr. Angela M. Belcher, MIT professor and pioneer in bioinspired materials, about how biology can transform the way we manufacture sustainable technologies. Drawing inspiration from how abalone build shells and viruses assemble structures, Angela shares how her lab uses genetically engineered viruses—like M13 bacteriophage—to grow batteries, solar cells, and cancer-targeting materials at room temperature without harmful chemicals. Her work reimagines the periodic table as a design toolkit and shows how nature's strategies can help us build cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable solutions.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Karl and Erum are joined by Dr. Ashley Beckwith, Founder & CEO of Foray Bioscience, for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of biomaterials and the emerging role of plant culture in shaping it. Ashley unpacks how Foray is pioneering new approaches to growing materials directly from plant cells, redefining how we produce, restore, and preserve biological resources. The episode explores the untapped potential of plant culture in bioproduction, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity preservation when applied with care and intention. Ashley shares her path from growing up in Colorado to pursuing mechanical engineering and bioengineering, and how that interdisciplinary foundation ultimately led her to start Foray. Throughout the conversation, Ashley describes how Foray is building the foundational infrastructure for plant culture. The company develops core capabilities from the ground up and then partners with others to scale and specialize applications. This platform-based approach reflects Foray's belief that unlocking the full potential of plant systems requires a collaborative ecosystem rather than the efforts of a single company.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Erum and Karl break down a concept they've lived and breathed—but rarely spelled out: orchestration. If you're building a startup in synthetic biology or advanced materials, this is a must-listen deep dive into how influence is built before your product lands or your funding closes. They pull back the curtain on how to create "value chain syndicates," why intros aren't just intros, and how real biotech momentum comes from aligning stakeholders across an entire ecosystem—not just impressing one customer.Taped just ahead of SynBioBeta 2025, this episode crackles with tactical wisdom, from designing credibility scaffolds to creating the conditions for inbound interest before traditional biz dev ever kicks in. Orchestration, they argue, is the true differentiator in biotech's current era—more critical than science alone.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Karl and Erum reconnect with Eben Bayer, Board Chair at MyForest Foods, for a compelling follow-up conversation on the evolution of mycelium-based food products. Eben dives deep into the scaling journey of MyBacon, a plant-based bacon alternative created through solid-state fermentation using gourmet mushroom mycelium. From early experiments producing just six packs a week to now operating at multiple farms across North America and Europe, Eben outlines the technical, economic, and operational hurdles his team has overcome. Listeners will discover how MyForest Foods is pioneering a distributed, farm-based manufacturing model and why MyBacon is outpacing pork bacon in select markets. If you're curious about biomaterials, novel fermentation tech, or the practical future of sustainable food systems, this episode offers a front-row seat to the revolution.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Þórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörð Gylfadóttir, fyrrverandi utanríkisráðherra segir ekkert í varnarsamningi leyfa Bandaríkjunum að koma hingað með tuttugu þúsund manna her án þess að spyrja kóng né prest. Önnur Evrópulönd spyrji sig sömu spurningar og Ísland; erum við of háð Bandaríkjunum? Ný ríkisstjórn ætlar að tryggja fleiri daga á strandveiðum í sumar. Inga Sæland, formaður flokks fólksins sem er félags- og húsnæðismálaráðherra segir að með því sé komið til móts við blæðandi sjávarbyggðir landsins. Hagfræðingur segir málið þó ekki svo einfalt, strandveiðarnar séu ekki endilega besta kerfið til að efla brothættar byggðir.

Baldur Þórhallsson, prófessor í stjórnmálafræði, segir að ákveðnu marki skiljanlegt þegar Trump segi að Evrópa þurfi að gera betur en það sé ótrúlegt að sjá hvað er að gerast í heiminum. „Erum við að horfa upp á umpólun í alþjóðakerfinu?“ segir hann. Þó telji hann matið í Washingtonborg enn það að varnir á Íslandi séu mikilvægar fyrir varnir Bandaríkjanna sjálfra. Það þurfi hins vegar að horfa víðar og hugsa um hvernig við ætlum að verja okkur. „Við höfum verið verst Evrópuríkja þegar kemur að því að sinna okkar eigin vörnum.“
Flavors, fragrances, and the science behind what makes things smell and taste amazing—Karl and Erum explore this world with Bob Weinstein, a legend in the industry who has spent decades at Firmenich, Robertet, and now Bedoukian Research. Bob takes them on a journey from the early days of animal-derived scents (yes, civet was a thing) to the rise of biotech-powered ingredients that are shaping the future of sustainable fragrance and flavor. They get into the art and science of scent, the challenges of scaling biomanufacturing, and why companies, much like organisms, have to evolve to survive. Plus, Erum shares her experience making her own perfume—though Bob has some thoughts on her ingredient choices.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.
