OLD NEWS

DA4G Award

Yashas Shetty, Zack Denfeld and I won one of the Design and Art for Genomics Awards together with our partner Netherlands Consortium for Healthy Aging with our project Edible Time Machine. The consortium is studying how diets impact healthy aging. Dovetailing with their current research, the Getting Old Together study - Zack, Yashas and I have proposed to create a collection of recipes that imagine near and far future diets of aging Netherlanders from multiple perspectives: genomic, gastronomic and ecological. How will changes in climate, demography and energy change the genomes and food technologies that compose Dutch food cultures?

Our work on the Edible Time Machine will commence shortly, and will culminate with an Exhibition in June at the beautiful Naturalis Museum in Leiden.
