Marc Weissburg will discuss biologically inspired design, or biomimicry, which uses biological processes to fuel innovation and design in engineering solutions for a sustainable future. He studies the ecology and sensory biology of marine organisms and teaches how engineers and other problem solvers can use biological principles as sources of inspiration for solving complex challenges. Weissburg is a professor of biology at Georgia Tech and co-director of the Center for Biologically Inspired Design.

This speaking engagement will be streamed live via the web. It's free and you can participate in the Q&A session at the end via Twitter. Times [19:00-20:30 PST] posted are in Pacific Time. Please note that if you tune in early, you may see either a placeholder image or another scheduled guest speaker engagement.
