Description

All of the organisms that we share our planet have to adapt to change in order to survive. Superorganisms -- termites, honeybees, fungi to name a few -- are a great example of resiliency and success in the natural world. Dr. Tamsin is an evolutionary anthropologist, biomimicry pioneer, and  author of TEEMING: How Nature's Oldest Teams Adapt and Thrive. Join Lily and Dr. Tamsin in a conversation of how we can translate strategies from superorganisms to businesses, what it means to implement biomimicry at the process and systems level, and how this practice brings hope for our future.

We share Earth with millions of other species, many of whom have been around much longer than us. Biomimicry is the promising practice of learning from nature’s forms, processes, and systems to create life-friendly designs that benefit both people and the planet. Lily Urmann – a biomimic, educator, and nature communicator – will explore this exciting field and showcase how biomimicry is applied and practiced around the world; from architecture and engineering to material science, manufacturing, business, design and everything in-between. Join Lily as she dives into the brilliant and beautiful world of how nature works and interviews biomimics across cutting-edge disciplines. Together, let’s discover what we can learn from nature!
