BioInspired! So What? Now What!

On October 21st a spammer managed to slip through the filters.  The offending comment has been removed, the miscreant has been banned and also reported to the StopForumSpam site. 

Fil Salustri and I are back from the ISO/TC 266 (Biomimetics) annual meeting Kyoto.  Once again, the UK and Canadian contingents did our best to ask the important questions and improve the quality of the ISO/TC 266 deliverables.  Fil pitched the Canadian Biomimetic Assessment Framework which generated positive responses including offers to pilot the assessment on real projects.  Watch for updates in the ISO/TC 266 Initiative forum.

Innocentive has posted a NASA bio-inspired challenge (see below).  I will attend the October 29th webinar and will post additional information.
