BioInspired! So What? Now What!

The BID Community has been busy, in spite of the lack of regular updates.  Although the Algae Competition entry was submitted on October 22nd, the team is not finished.  Kamelia Mitevia is in discussions with the TEDxBG (Bulgaria) organizers on presenting our design in January, 2012.  In addition, two new projects have been launched: Kamelia is leading a team investigating a game based on the Life's Principles while another team is exploring what a BID Toolkit might contain. 

The December BioInspired!  newsletter will not make it for Christmas but will be published before the New Year.

Best Wishes for the Holiday Season!
          Norbert Hoeller, on behalf of the Advisory Group
