Tim McGee

How are the technologies we have created different from the technologies nature evolved over 3.8 billion years? The science of biology has grown by massive leaps and bounds in the past 200 years, and we are just beginning to put together fascinating stories of how nature works. Yet much of this wisdom is obscured, and relegated to scientific journals or dusty biology volumes. Dusting off these tomes, and offering up the insights of biology to other fields has proven to be an exciting and thrilling field that is helping us understand and connect to the world, as well as to ourselves. Through examples and stories, biologist Tim McGee will share where biological wisdom is changing the way we work, think, and create, and where increasingly our technologies have more in common with 3.8 billion years of evolution.
