BioInspired! So What? Now What!

A significant number of updates were made to the underlying website platform on Friday and Saturday.  If you see anything unusual, please let me know as soon as possible. 

Fritjof Capra is releasing his new book The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision late in April.  Zygote Quarterly has obtained a pre-publication copy (PDF) and is planning to publish a book review.  So far, we have one volunteer but due to the size of the book and the short timeline, we need more.  If you are interested, drop me a note (you can reply to this email).
