Ik vind deze campagne erg belangrijk - doe je ook mee? actie.degoedezaak.org/petitions/st...

Last summer a great many biohackers & other creative folks got together at the Dinacon in Bali. Proceedings of all the wonderful projects that went on there are now available here! -> archive.org/details/dina...

Beef has a huge environmental cost. And the only real fix is to consume less of it. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

Lat walk of '25, hello '26 and happy new year everyone!

Not all climate “solutions” are created equal. Some actually do more harm than good like some of the top ones here. Bookmark the Drawdown Explorer in case you are ever not sure.

Please help Project Drawdown and our work to deploy science-based climate solutions out into the world. It sometimes feels impossible to build a better future, but I assure you that it is not. A better future is possible, but only if we choose to pursue it.

Important 'save the date' announcement! Biohackery fun in Greece April 22-25

Ik heb gestemd, voor een duurzame, rechtvaardige samenleving

Weather stations up & running! The Smart Citizen kit (open source), an Ecowitt station, and 3 different Nutshell eDNA samplers for testing

@atinygreencell.bsky.social , turns out I am growing a Korean perilla (Perilla frutescens) that is doing a consistent triple whorl, spontaneously. Happy to ship a sample, once shipping between our countries is a go again

Aasvlieg en steenhommel-komkommerkruid brunch. Green bluebottle fly and stone bumblebee feeding on borage.

Nothing but some critters goin about their business

DNAir sampler works in simulation too! Downward vertical air movement is color coded red. github.com/J4n-M44rt3n/...

Meijendel hike

Sarah and I went to see the launch of this year's strandbeest, at Scheveningen beach

Purple glow on a windowsill, I outfitted plant hatchery boxes with led strips today

Testing a new windtunnel build; vacuum cleaner universal motor, custom fan, zipties. Up to 4 m/s and counting.

Bumlebee on lavender, even closer but shakier too

More bumblebee on lavender

Squid fishin' fleet, Les, Bali

Rhinoceros beetle on our porch last night

Aardhommel, boomhommel, rozenkever, gele lis met kleine vriendjes

Foraging bumble bee, look at those flight muscles!

Does nature observe city limits? Why no, it does not. Menno Schilthuizen´s ´the urban naturalist´ is full of fascinating stories of life adapting to the urban environment and the people studying it.

Second electroplating experiment, for an anode for what will be an ion-plasma wind tunnel. Electroplating is fun and easy, I can live with that!

Action to address climate crisis is CRITICAL! Definitely a great step towards getting different institutional leadership to work in unison!

Bio comunity lab extraordinaire Hackuarium celebrates their 10th anniversary this weekend! Join on video here -> epfl.zoom.us/j/61330371040 ; Program here -> wiki.hackuarium.ch/images/9/9e/...

In about fifteen minutes, slime mold Andi will be heading for the International Space Station, invited by NASA astronaut Don Pettit. Such an adventure! You can follow the launch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c59N...

Hollyhocks at night

Next week Friday, July 19, join (amongst others) speakers Brianna Johns and Jan-Maarten Luursema for a one-day GOSH Community meeting in Tetem. More information at: tetem.nl/event/goshte... #GOSH #OpenScience #OScH #CommunityBuilding #TechForGood

Today in the garden, kind of hard to see, parasitic wasp wrestling down a spider

Green larva with a central stripe that it likes to align with the leaf vein. Seems attracted to aphids. But what is it? Do you know @aglaia.bsky.social ?

Going through 2 kg of parking garage dirt; fourth sieve. Everything in this sample made it through 0.9 mm pores but got stuck at 0.4.

Complex interactions at Hornbach today, now with more selfies

Parking garage dirt selections that passed through 2 mm holes but got stuck at 0.85 mm.

Even more selections out of 2 kg of parking garage roof dirt, second sieve of six, 2-4 mm pores. Includes picture of the universe in a mote of dust.

We are organizing a fungal-themed BioFest in Astros, Greece, to celebrate the opening of the new BioFabLab of the Meraki people! Participation is free, and you can register here: forms.gle/WHxT4hiijth4...

More finds from the first batch

I sifted through two kilos of parking garage dirt. Here are some finds from the first batch, 4 mm and bigger

I love it when people do things for the fun of it. Here are some interesting city planning proposals I found in the neighborhood.

Collected dust from a parking lot to sieve for micro meteorites. Found alien life instead. The search continues
