Andrew Pelling is a biohacker, and nature is his hardware. His favorite materials are the easiest ones (and frequently he discovers them in the trash). Building on the cellulose structure that provides an apple its shape, he "grows" realistic human ears, pioneering a process that may one day be used to fix body parts securely and cheaply. And he has some even wilder concepts to share … "Exactly what I'm truly curious about is if one day it will be possible to fix, restore and augment our own bodies with stuff we make in the kitchen area," he states.
