University Video Description from UM: To create products and processes that are well-adapted to life, innovators are turning to a new design discipline called biomimicry, consciously emulating life‚ making fibers like a spider, computing like a cell, and running a business like a redwood forest. Dr. Dayna Baumeister, co-founder of the Biomimicry Guild, discusses biomimicry and its role in ensuring the success of this new industrial revolution.
