Professor: Alright, let's settle down. Today we're starting a new unit on a fascinating concept: biomimicry. Simply put, biomimicry is the practice of looking to nature for solutions to human problems. It involves innovating by emulating nature's time-tested patterns. A classic example is how the study of bird flight mechanics directly inspired the design of early airplanes. Throughout this unit, we'll explore how this approach is used to create more efficient and sustainable technologies, from architecture to medicine.
