Rethink Matters

About us

Rethink Matters is an Innovator Circle, a high-trust peer group powered by ARIA.

We bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners working across biology, materials, and systems. As a group, we examine the technical, environmental, and ethical conditions shaping biomaterial innovation, building a shared, cross-disciplinary understanding of what it takes to move from research to implementation.

Sessions follow the Chatham House Rule. The aim is to generate ideas and to identify where biomaterials break down across scales, and why.
