03:17 Drawings and animation from the Fast Draw team show how biomimicry works and what it is all about – and demonstrate why scientists refer to it as the perfect way to copy nature.

52:18 This episode from “The Nature of Things” illustrates the science of biomimicry and introduces leading figures in the field including Wes Jackson, Ray Anderson, Paul Hawken, and Janine Benyus. Biomimicry (from ‘bios’ meaning life, and ‘mimesis’ meaning to imitate) is a science that studies nature’s best ideas and imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. 

23:59 In this illuminating talk about biomimicry Janine Benyus illustrates fascinating examples of ways nature influences the products and systems we build.
