Biohacking and implantables with Amal Graafstra

Bronic's What the (Bio)Hack?! is a podcast to discover what the hack security means for biology. Our host interviews some of the world's mad scientists and rad hackers across deceivingly unrelated disciplines to uncover what the future holds and how we can design against crime.

In this episode, we speak with Amal Graafstra, technologist, Author & Double RFID Implantee. We  delve into “biohacking” and the world of implantables. Back in 2005, he implanted an RFID chip in his hand to open doors and control his gadgets – talk about futuristic! But what exactly is biohacking? It's an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of DIY and open-source hardware projects, from Arduino to RFID toys and beyond. Some may find the concept controversial, but there's no denying the fascinating possibilities it offers. We talk about these topics and more to understand what the future holds and how we can design against crime.
