#1320 - Softer, Better, Faster, Stronger (Next-Gen Leather)
<p>Gozen Bioworks is founded by one of Turkey's most promising young fashion designers, Ece Gozen. She's been thinking about how to merge fashion and science together, ever since she started college. And in the peak of her design career, she left to start, this company that is now Gozen Bioworks, because she has found a way to replace leather... Using a bacterial nanocellulose. And the properties of this leather are unsurpassed by anything else out there in terms of strength in terms of field, in terms of thinness, and time to produce. And we're going to cover that today. Because just four months into the indie bio program, they have traction with so many companies. Ranging from automotive to space, to well-known luxury brands. But the real reasons why they want to Killer of the Week have something to do with how much they've driven their costs down and how much they've scaled up in the past four months. </p> <p>Learn more about Gozen: https://indiebio.co/company/gozen-bioworks/</p>

#1316 - Growing concrete with algae
<p>We sit with MInus Materials, founded by Wil Srubar and Sarah Williams out of the LIving Materials Laboratory at University of Colorado Boulder. There is a type of algae that grows a shell made of calcium carbonate, which is what is used as cement for concrete, a dirty industry that emits about 8% of the world's total carbon emissions. With Minus, just replacing the calcium carbonate (limestone) inputs alone reduces the emissions by 60%. But stacked with other technologies, we can make completely carbon negative concrete at a competitive cost. </p>

#1315 - Mining Rare Earths with Biology
<p>This week we talk to MetalX Biocycles founders, Drs. Jesica Urbina and Ivan Paulino Lima, two NASA trained scientists who have been working on mining technologies that are safe enough to do in space... They bring those technologies here to earth. Rare earth, that is. They won Killer of the Week this week for a critical experiment that takes them to near completion on their proof of concept: being able to separate rare earth elements, not with toxic chemicals, but with biological reagents that are safe enough for your kitchen.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about MetalX Biocycles at https://indiebio.co/company/metalx-biocycle/ </p>
