INCUBATOR Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art, Science and Ecology is a physical and theoretical hub, a new art/science laboratory at The University of Windsor. Founded in 2009 it functions both as an apparatus in which environmental conditions can be controlled towards the assisted proliferation of life, but also as a site that supports the proliferation of new ideas – new artistic practices.

Today is the day! The 3rd Annual Biodesign Challenge Symposium 2026 is happening NOW!

Dr. Jennifer Willet is presenting her research as a symposium speaker in NYC!

The Biodesign Symposium is an annual academic conference dedicated to progressive approaches to interdisciplinary biodesign pedagogy. As an emerging discipline, biodesign draws inspiration from arts and design, engineering, the social sciences and various biological subdisciplines to develop systems, processes, and objects that make essential use of biological functions. Conference proceedings aim to situate biodesign instructional theories within broader educational debates while also establishing domain-specific methodologies for deployment in the classroom.
