Abstract
The University of Akron Biomimicry Research and Innovation Center (BRIC) is an initiative dedicated to the advancement of innovation inspired by nature. The work of BRIC is to align the creative ideas of scientists, engineers, artists, and entrepreneurs to catalyze invention, and partners with corporate and non-profit sectors to develop a capacity for biomimicry research, education, and entrepreneurship. Along with discussing BRIC, this session also highlights the Synapse event series, which probes the ideas, images, and mutual interests connecting art and science professionals and disciplines.
