Bio-inspired Biomedical Research by Dr. Knothe Tate

By Marianne Eppig on assignment for E4S



We survive because nature has provided us with nearly perfect living machines—our bodies. Its mechanisms allow us to procreate, heal, and regenerate cells; take any part of the body and there is some lesson to be learned. Think of bones: how do they build strength, adapt, and stay strong? Melissa Knothe Tate, Ph.D. has spent her career answering these questions by studying bone activity, which has in turn inspired her to… Continue

Victoria:
who is the spokesperson for biomimicry Northeast Ohio? Do you or could you serve in that capacity? I am interested in talking to someone that would be willing to represent the idea of biomimicry (they don't really need to represent the organization) and how it is sustainable and works in their life on a cable TV show called Sustainable Life. Do you know anyone that might be interested. Please have them call me at 561-309-6048. Thanks.

Victoria:

Thank you for the invitation and your time in reading my profile. Both are appreciated!

Some background, including a draft White Paper, is available on our website: www.ngbc.us/?page_id=26

I'm under a few deadlines today and this week...but will definitely add more to my profile when I can. I was excited to see your & this group's existence and good work, and wanted to at least complete a brief profile to complete later. I'm definitely more than happy to share more about the work in creating a local deconstruction infrastructure/economy using Biomimicry.

Thanks.

Great people! They are working on building a place where people can be treated in traditional ways for cancer and other ailments. The cattle will be kept and processed in the traditional ways of the vaqueros
