Biopunk Greenhouse: Trees, Biochar & Open Plant Biotechnology - Members +3

What happens when plant biotechnology leaves the lab and starts interacting with trees, soil, carbon, microbes, materials, and time? Join Carbocene Industries × Frontier Tower for an afternoon conversation and community gathering around open plant biotechnology and the biological systems that could shape a more resilient future. Carbocene works at the intersection of plant biotechnology, photosynthesis, tree propagation, carbon drawdown, biochar, field biology, and durable biological materials. Rather than treating biotechnology as something confined to a laboratory, this event looks at the larger system around a living engineered organism: how a plant is propagated, measured, grown, stressed, deployed, converted into materials, returned to soil, and studied across time. We’ll explore topics including: engineered and enhanced trees photosynthesis as a biological engineering target greenhouse propagation and plant tissue culture biochar, wood, soil, and long-lived carbon moving from controlled experiments to field evidence open and community-accessible plant biotechnology preservation and stewardship of valuable biological lines how founders, scientists, growers, engineers, and biohackers can collaborate around living systems The format will be informal and conversational, with time for questions, discussion, and meeting others working across biotechnology, climate, ecology, materials, and adjacent fields. See living Carbocene trees up close. Carbocene will bring elements of its portable public research setup to Frontier Tower as we discuss tree biotechnology, propagation, photosynthesis, biochar, field deployment, and open approaches to plant research. Who should come: Researchers, founders, growers, biohackers, engineers, artists, climate builders, biologists, and people curious about what happens when synthetic biology meets trees and ecosystems. No specialized plant-biology background is required.

Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, makerspace, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
