@Fishiologist_Em Woohoo!! Congrats Dr. Slesinger!!

[Lily Urmann @LilyUrmann]

I am SO EXCITED to hear that my "Biology for Biomimicry" course, offered for the first time @PrattInstitute next semester, filled up within TWO days of enrollment opening!! I'm looking forward to meeting some incredible change-makers in January. #biomimicry #design #biomimicryed

What can we learn from the sensitive plant about how to modify shape and protect from biotic or abiotic factors?

My newest "Bite-size Biomimicry" is out on @Medium, @instagram, and @tiktok_us!

This "on-demand session" showcases our early findings of the impact that the undergraduate biomimicry certificate courses have on students from different disciplines. It's an exciting topic that I am VERY passionate about.

Any other folks here attending the conference this week?

[Lily Urmann @LilyUrmann]

Very excited to be attending the @AASHENews Global Conference on Sustainability Education! My colleague from @BiomimicryASU Sara and I have created a recorded presentation on "Enhancing Sustainability Education Through Biomimicry". #GCSHE #AASHE #Biomimicry #SustainabilityEd

[Arizona State University @ASU]

.@BiomimicryASU, in collaboration with @phoenixzoo and @BiomimicryInst, created downloadable science kits for middle schoolers with various lessons about nature's innovations! 🔱

It's my last week working at @BiomimicryASU! While I am sad to be leaving, I'm also very grateful for the last three years of creativity here. This most recent project, BioConnect, is probably my favorite to date 🙂

See you soon, Colorado!
