Join the Lopez Library Wednesday, April 12 at 7 p.m., Library Community Room, as we host professional biomimic Nan Woodman. Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature and is an emerging science dedicated to studying nature’s brilliant innovations. Can nature’s processes solve human challenges in sustainable ways?

Discover what organisms do to be successful and how we might learn from their mind-boggling and elegant strategies. Take a look at inventions inspired by geckos, kingfishers, humpback whales, termites, beetles, sharks, among others. Through an introduction to the time-tested principles used by the natural world, learn how life creates conditions conducive to life.

Woodman is also a designer and biologist/illustrator at-the-design-table. She will share experiences in learning from 3.8 billion years of genius – all from the natural world. This one of a kind evening is sponsored by Friends of the Lopez Library.
