Jo,
Thanks for that valuable contribution. I had a position for a network
manager, but now I have the proper name! Within the building was a public
exhibition area where displays and exhibits show the latest
advances/discoveries in the field, so hopefully have that base covered.
But just out of interest, could anyone involved in research/teaching
possibly just briefly describe what you might get up to in a day? Whether
the bulk of your work takes place in the lab or not..whether the lab work
you do consists of sitting in front of a computer, or is it mainly
testing/analyzing etc.
Many thanks for all your input,
Gideon

Don't forget that not everyone in your faculty of biomimetics would be
involved in research. The ideal faculty would include a biomimetics network
manager, busy in their office running a network that informs the world about
the vital research being done, recruits members to share their research and
attracts the interest of industrialists with applications suitable for a
biomimetics approach!
