The Mushroom Revolution

We are used to consuming mushrooms: Bread, cheese, wine and beer are all produced using fungi. But can we also imagine sitting on furniture made from mushrooms, living in homes constructed from mushrooms or wearing clothing manufactured from them? The citizen science project “Mind the Fungi!” creates construction material, clothing and packaging from mushroom cultures.

Safety in Bicycle Traffic

Wake up, eat breakfast, and then into the saddle. For many Berliners, hopping onto their bike each morning to head to work is a standard part of their daily routine. Cycling is beneficial for both the climate and our wallets, yet it can also be life-threatening. Laypersons collect data in an app for the research project “Safety in Bicycle Traffic” to prevent future accidents.
