🧃 As the summer sun hits, it's not just the temperature that's heating up! Just like the changing seasons, phases, and networks, there's been a lot of cross-pollination happening within our 1.618 community behind the scenes. We've been resting, processing, weaving, and coming back with what always we do - Biomimicry in ACTION! With team Born Global (BG)'s incredible experience and expertise, we are experimenting with a Biomimicry Summer Program for Indian students. Thank you Dr. Kimberly, Sriram Sankaran, Nora, and Nicholas Heier for making this happen. Gratitude to our inspiring support systems and community - Dr Nicolene, Peter Philips, Dr. S. Sindhu Nachiar, VIDISHA PAGARIYA, Aadil Rehaan, Deniston Antony, and more to expand. Let's make this summer one for the books! #biomimicry #biomimicrydesign #biomimicrycommunity #community #nature #natureinspired #biodesign #naturedesign #design #research #conservation #internship #science #art #sustainability #design #education
