BioInspired! So What? Now What!

The Second Quarter 2013 Participation Rebate has been calculated.  Marjan Eggermont and Tom McKeag received back all or a significant portion of their membership fees. 

Congratulations are in order!  Marjan Eggermont Receives Biomimicry 3.8 Educators Award and Taryn Mead is Marie Curie Research Fellow at University of Exeter, School of Business.

The BioInspired! newsletter has slipped again due to lack of content.  One area in which we can all contribute to the community is by short articles on events that you attended and found worthwhile.  Although over 260 people were at the Biomimicry 3.8 conference in Boston, many of us were unable to make it and would benefit from your insights.

A significant number of upgrades to the website are planned for early this Sunday (July 14th).  Almost all should be transparent with the exception of the rich text editor (a few buttons have been dropped).  If you notice any issues, please let me know as soon as possible.
