207 - Biomimicry, zombie ants, and becoming Spider-Man
Manage episode 240530730 series 2350236
Rob Campbell is a researcher broadly interested in structure. He’s currently working on the assembly of spider silk to further our understanding in materials science and evolutionary biology. But also for novel applications in bioinspired materials engineering.
In this episode we explore spider silk, its many forms and functions, and how it is being used in bioinspired design. We then have a broader discussion on biomimicry and bioinspired design, combining nature with human ingenuity. Rob once worked on the infamous zombie ants, so we also dive into the gruesome case of phorid flies.
If you’d like to catch up with Rob to talk structure, silk, and global community building, find him on Twitter @rob10c or head over to rob10campbell.wix.com/research.
Enjoy!
