What's biomimetics?
Is it Newton having discovered the laws of gravity because an apple fell on
his head?

How many places are there in the UK which can offer some sort of education
in in biomimetics (=biomimicry/bionics/bio-inspired design . . . )?
Bath university has a whole lecture course in the last year of its
engineering course and offers various projects in the area. I suspect much
the same can be said of Reading. Cambridge engineering offers a
substantial lecture series (Michelle Oyen). As far as I know, for the rest
of the UK the students can do a project in the area, or there may be a
lecture or two, but that's it. What do you say to anyone who wants to have
some education in the area?
