BioInspired! So What? Now What!

You are invited to observe and explore how Nature creates the richness and complexity of life through chemistry. Adventure through the ecotones to learn the ways in which Nature operates at the molecular scale to communicate, assemble/ disassemble, purify, clean, colorize, protect, detect, repair, and a host of other functionalities that parallel those needed in commerce.  

Discover the intricate chemistry behind Nature's most remarkable phenomena, from self-assembly and molecular recognition to sustainable material design and bio-inspired synthesis. Through hands-on activities, case studies, and interactive discussions, you'll gain practical insights into how to apply biomimetic principles in chemical research, product development, and beyond.

Whether you're a chemist, materials scientist, educator, or simply curious about the intersection of chemistry and biomimicry, this workshop is designed to ignite your creativity and expand your horizons. Join us in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia and embark on a transformative journey where chemistry meets Nature's wisdom.
