The following information is posted by Norbert Hoeller on behalf of the BID Community Advisory Group (Ashok Goel, Petra Gruber, Norbert Hoeller, Janice McDougall, Tom McKeag, Eileen Stephens, Karen Verbeek, Marc Weissburg, Jeannette Yen). My apologies if you have already seen this. The December 2010 issue of the BioInspired! newsletter has been posted to http://bioinspired.sinet.ca/content/december-2010-newsletter-issue-74. This issue includes articles on the HOK/Biomimicry Guild Partnership (Mary Ann Lazarus), a case study on early-stage bio-inspired design (Kathleen Murphy), the evolution of the bombardier beetle's chemical defense (Kathryn Nagel) and the implications for searching biological literature (Mac Weissburg), cognitive aspects of bio-inspired design (Ashok K. Goel), a summary of the first Skype conference call (Faye Yoshihara, Janice McDougall, Norbert Hoeller), and a Call to Action. The PDF also includes a Calendar of Public Events. To read the articles online or download the PDF, you need to register on the Website, a relatively painless process described in the September Call to Action article (http://bioinspired.sinet.ca/content/call-action). Registration also provides access to member-only forums and allows you to post comments. Future newsletters will only be announced through the website. Wishing everyone all the best for the holidays!
