The Reading Room is the Biodesign Academy library. Each week, one new Reading takes a living material down to the molecule doing the work.

  •   Every Reading on bio-cement, and on the other seven living matters, with a new one each week
  •   The material primers, each one built from the molecule up
  •   The Reading Room podcast, with one episode for each Reading
  •   The members channel in the community, to talk a Reading through with other readers
