Lecture & workshop in New York City

“Biomimicry is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and imitates them to solve human problems. Applications range widely, from architecture, product design, and engineering, to software development, communication systems and organizational evolution.

Dayna Baumeister, PhD, co-founder of the Biomimicry Guild, will lead a journey of discovery through an evening lecture. On the two days that follow, Dayna and a team of Guild biologists, including Rose Tocke, Taryn Mead, and Tim McGee, will lead a two part design workshop." lecture and reception
