Our Connection to Animals

Thursday, February 11, 2016, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

We will take a break from current events and have a meeting on a "soft" topic. Usually I find interesting TED Talks on a common topic. Here are three talks on our connection to animals;

• Ian Dunbar explains that the key to dog training is to see things from the dogs point of view
• Janine Banyus show how animals have provided solutions to engineering problems
• Maria Spivak reminds us on our dependance on bees and why they are endangered

Correction: I said during the meeting that cockroach robots were used in the Taiwan earthquake rescue. I think that the actual news was that cockroach robots were only suggested, not actually used.

Here are the links to the other videos shown during the meeting:

• Cockroach robots to the rescue!
• Whitehouse Bees
