He is a Biology Graduate from Exeter University, and has previously taught biology at two prominent English private schools. ------------------- The theme for TEDxDubai 2010 is REBOOT. But what does it mean? For the technology addicts, it is a way to prompt a fresh start. Sometimes there is nothing else one can do other than start again. REBOOT is sometimes forced upon us, so we should celebrate and share the events that prompt a fresh start, the failures that inspire new ventures and the ideas worth spreading from that journey. When we Reboot we embrace failure and celebrate it as an opportunity to Re-think, Re-start. ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx <b>...</b>

Second Nature: 'The Biomimicry Evolution' explores the emerging discipline of Biomimicry as illustrated by Janine Benyus, biologist, author, and recipient of multiple environmental awards. Set in the wilds of South Africa, Benyus and her team, including Bryony Schwan and Claire Janisch, guide the viewer through the myriad human-made innovations that have been inspired by nature -- toward a vision of a planet in balance between continued human progress and ecosystem survival.

Humans have always looked to nature for inspiration in industry and progress. By observing nature, we have developed better machines, materials and buildings to improve our world. Only recently, however, have we begun to explore the potential of observing nature to advance clean-energy technology. Entrepreneurs, investors and biomimetic designers will discuss how companies are utilizing biomimicry to design, build and operate innovative cleantech technologies. Join us as experts explore the benefits and challenges of this new collaborative model and dive into the best strategies for success.

Innovation is the one thing that anyone watching corporate media isn't aware of - simply because corporate media is superficial, and corporate news has a 30 second attention span. We are proud to bring you - Biomimicry. Quite simply, nature does things that we can now duplicate - but this technology isn't developed or implimented simply because 'it isn't profitable' - just like 'it isn't profitable to feed or give basic medicine to 36000 people that die every day'. Greed , in particular Bank & Corporate Greed is what is standing in the way of logic, and surviaval of the human species. There is something wrong with Canada when we have the ability to feed the world, but we don't. It's that simple. We need you to to watch this video, and then to stand up and do something. The time is now - join us.

Janine Benyus helped bring the word biomimicry into 21st century vocabularies in her 1997 book on the subject. Her company, The Biomimicry Group, encourages biologists at the design table to ask: how would nature design this? She said our human society will create a more sustainable world in part by emulating the natural organisms all around us, which have already gone through billions of years of trial and error to find elegant and amazing solutions to process and design problems.
