a lot of stuff out of garbage,
have even been kind of useful.
to amuse myself.
hem de eğleniyorum.
so I just made it part of my day job.
her gün yapıyorum.
biological research lab,
laboratuvarının başındayım,
and exploration above all else.
keşfetmeye çalışırdık.
on any particular problem,
any particular disease.
bulmaya çalışırlardı.
and find answers.
to build the equipment they need
müthiş bir yol olurdu.
from around the world
we value unconventional ideas,
değer verdiğimiz için olmadı bunlar,
test edip onayladık,
I was taking it apart,
inceleyebilir miyim?
parçalara ayırıp
yine birleştirebilir miyim,
in some new and creative way?
olduğunu söyleyebilir mi?
tell me what fruit this is?
That's right -- it's an apple.
Aynen öyle, bu bir elma.

we grew human cells into it.

kalan tek şey
after removing all the apple cells
their shape and texture.
the apple cells used to be.

mavi kısımlarda görüyoruz.
these guys start multiplying
bu mavi hücreler çoğalıyor
oluştuğunu hatırlatıyor.
of how our own tissues are organized.

when people started asking me,
soru sormaya başlıyor,
organ yapabilir misin ?"
body parts out of apples?"
Benim cevabım da bu oluyor.

literally carve some ears
insan kulağı hâline getirebilir misin?"
laboratuvara götürdüm.
bu kulaklarda büyüttük.
kulak üretim tesisi değil.
in the ear-manufacturing business.
bu konu üstünde çalışmakta.
on this for decades.
ve problemli olabilir,
really expensive and problematic,
from proprietary products,
elmayı kullandık.
to make these things.
can be built from garbage,
bile bulabilirsiniz.
only requires soap and water.
ve su gerektiriyor.
İnternet'te paylaştık.

really promising pilot data.
pilot verilerimiz var.

that's all around me on this stage

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Andrew Pelling - BiohackerAndrew Pelling's unconventional and creative scientific process is founded on play.
Why you should listen
Scientist, professor, entrepreneur and TED Fellow Andrew Pelling has built a career on unapologetic curiosity, creativity and serendipity. He is a professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Ottawa, where he founded and directs a curiosity-driven research lab that brings together artists, scientists, social scientists and engineers. The lab uses low-cost, open source materials and methods to explore speculative living technologies of the future. He has, for instance, created human body parts made from plants and grown living skins on LEGOs -- innovations with the potential to replace prohibitively expensive commercial biomaterials.
Pelling is also the co-founder and CTO of Spiderwort Inc., a mission driven company developing open source platforms to enable the widespread and global adoption of biological research in all environments and economic contexts. Most recently, he founded pHacktory, a street-level research lab in Ottawa that amplifies community ideas through a potent mixture of craft, serendipity and curiosity.
Pelling's work has been in the international media spotlight for many years, with recognition in outlets such as Wired, Huffington Post, NPR, Scientific American, Popular Science, BBC, Der Spiegel, Deutsche Welle and others, as well as numerous highlights in the Canadian media and Scientific media. He was named a TED Fellow in 2016.
