Bringing back the biomimicry blueprint.
Did you know that the naked mole rat is my all-time favourite animal? I did a TEDx talk to explain why! 🐀
Well, it's not all about the naked mole rat, but they're a prime example of a natural system that surprisingly, biotechnologists are turning to as a blueprint to improve our own lives.
I distilled my thoughts on rebuilding the world with biology and why materials are the crux of sustainable innovation in my talk titled Bringing Back the Biomimicry Blueprint.
