An Inside Look: Animals That Inspire Human Ingenuity

The natural world is full of problem solvers. Through trial and error, each species has adopted their own solutions to the most complex challenge of all: basic survival. Through the adoption of adaptations, nature itself could be considered the ultimate research and development lab. Humans making use of this R&D is biomimicry. 

In this conversation, wildlife biologist, TV host, and BBC podcaster Patrick Aryee will tell you stories of biomimicry from his new book, 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter. Aryee will be joined by moderator Sara Aly El Sayed, Co-Director of The Biomimicry Center. Together, they'll reveal the exceptional powers of animals and change the way you look at the natural world forever.
