We're a group of designers, educators, scientists, engineers, and policy makers want to create a central hub for anyone working on or interested in Biomimicry.

Meet team Air2Water, the 2nd place middle school team (Munster, IN) These students were inspired by the Namib Desert beetle & the honey bee in their design of a roofing tile that collects H20 from moisture in the air #biomimicry #STEM #honeybee https://t.co/ONm7MJfXZX

Boom! Another great idea from the natural world!

50% more light from an LED by emulating special scales on the firefly abdomen. Simple coat and laser-cut process. Wow!

There are no effective safeguards preventing a few powerful people, companies or states from wreaking havoc for the sake of profit or power. Though their actions may lead to the death of millions, they know they can’t be touched. https://t.co/RwCSAakRg9

@MCADSustainDsgn @ClimateReality @oregonmetro @biomimicry @StefKoehler @DesignWeekPDX yep- we know! We've tweeted your workshop out to the Portland biomimicry world, looking forward to seeing you here!

[Biomimicry_Oregon @BiomimicryO]

We're currently working with the @climatereality group and @oregonmetro and other great orgs to build hopeful climate curriculum for Portland's students- here's a reminder how @biomimicry can help climate change!

love this invention!

2.5 million trees in the next 5 years? Using #biomimicry, our 2018 #RayofHopePrize winning team, Nucleário, is making it happen. https://t.co/1tsphYiBxv @BBC_Future @rayslegacy

PORTLAND biomimicry people! In April join the workshop "Bio-inspired Design for a Sustainable World" at Design Week Portland...two chances to join!

It's not us but it's hosted by some great people nonetheless!

The post doesn't mention it by name, but we know that using beavers for climate adaptation is totally biomimicry in action!

[Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ @Revkin]

Cool that *beavers* - a problem in some places - can be a triple-win #resilience #climatesolution in others (@WCSAdapts). Check out this section of my @natgeo story on the rising adaptation imperative in conservation. Yes, this is a way to #actonclimate. https://t.co/jML0DL6866

It may not be #biomimicry full just yet, but this list of #naturebasedsolutions events at #COP24 is heartwarming! Nature as problem solver, Nature as innovator!

"-Here’s the surprising part — the mechanism of this dispersal was unknown until now" How magnificent things are if you only look...

[Biomimicry Institute @BiomimicryInst]

An example of how evolution can produce ingenious solutions to the most finicky problems, such as seed dispersal using only air, spacing, and gravity.
