They also talk about their involvement in the biopunk movement and the importance of connecting with nature through various hobbies and projects. Plus, Julian shares their interest in DIY hormone production for hormone replacement therapy and encourages others to connect with like-minded individuals for research and collaboration.

• 00:00:00 In this section, Julian talks about the hacker space movement, starting from its inflection point in 2007 when a tour of European hacker spaces was conducted. The tour was led by notable hackers like Dan Kaminsky and Nick Farr, and it sparked the formation of countless hack spaces worldwide, including the famous NYC Resistor and Noisebridge in San Francisco. Julian emphasizes the importance of knowing one's roots, as the hacker space movement has evolved significantly, and the origins of the movement should be recognized and appreciated.

• 00:05:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the Curious Community Labs, a biohack space located in Hamburg. The 42 square-meter lab is part of the Solar Punk movement, which emphasizes autonomy, off-grid living, and interconnectedness with nature. The lab also aligns with the hacker movement, as it promotes DIY technology and innovation. The space is actively involved in foraging, food experiments, and the study of mycelium-based materials. In the lab, members build their own mushroom lamps, which are made of mushroom mycelium, straw, and buckwheat. The mushroom lamps are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and can be used as a lampshade. Additionally, the lab works on projects related to sustainable food production and plankton analysis using Raspberry Pi and high-speed photography. The speaker encourages others to connect with similar biohack spaces if they are interested in learning more and collaborating on research.
• 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses their love for nature and their enjoyment of engaging with it through various hobbies and projects. They describe feeling the need to understand the natural world around them and to create more sustainable solutions to everyday problems. The speaker specifically mentions their project to create a muted trumpet sound using mycelium as a sound absorption material, detailing the 3D printing of a mold, growing mycelium with rapeseed straw and buckwheat shells, and the resulting compostable, fully DIY component. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of learning about nature, transcending cultural beliefs that separate us from the stuff around us, and approaching environmentalism with urgency and a focus on small-scale solutions.
