BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Fil and I are looking for good resources that relate to the bio-inspired design process and how it compares to regular design.  Please take a few minutes and share your favorite list using the survey posted at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kFRh2t7WHS7rzSVxbJJObY_3_7HWj8yAHqm8H3ez2GA/viewform?usp=send_form.

A user raised a concern about having to login to unsubscribe from BID Community updates.  Unfortunately, the platform on which the site is built does not provide an alternate method.  You can always reply to the notification email and I will unsubscribe you manually.

In the process of evaluating the next version of the website platform, I have figured out how to provide a 'Login with Google' button which I expect can be extended to support Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.  This would allow you to login with your social media account username/password rather than your BID Community username/password.  Please reply to this email if you are interested in having this feature enabled on the current BID Community website.
