The 2011 Biomimicry Conference: Zoological Perspectives

We’ve discussed in this forum, on a number of occasions, the Biomimetic effort. As the inspiration for our reflective displays, Biomimicry is a field we’re passionate about and one we work with business, government and educational organizations to promote. A prime example of this collaboration was our sponsorship of UC Berkeley-based seminar titled “How Would Nature Do That?” which focused on empowering a new generation of scientists to seek solutions from nature.

New Course at UC Berkeley Changes the Course for Product Design

As the students of UC Berkeley converged back on campus this semester (Spring 2011), a new course taught by Tom McKeag titled, "How Would Nature Do That?" appeared in their elective offerings from the College of Natural Resources. The course is focused on biomimicry, the study of nature to find solutions that are typically both more resource efficient and environmentally sustainable than standard solutions.
