Imagine a world where everything we make is inspired by the natural world. Naturalist Kim White will share real-world examples of how complex problems were solved by looking to nature for solutions.

What does a Bur have in common with NASA? A Kingfisher with a high-speed train? In this fascinating talk, naturalist Kim White will show you examples of when science, technology, engineering, math, medicine, and agriculture looked to nature to solve complex problems. Animal ambassadors: Axolotl, Crested Gecko, and Hedgehog will accompany this program.

AAPLD embraces inclusivity in its programs and services. To request accommodations, please email [info@aapld.org] or call (847) 458-6060 x143 at least 7 days in advance.
