Dear All,
We are pleased to invite you and your children to a lecture  “Superpowers of nature translated into technology” to be given by 
Ilya Gomyranov, an employee of the Skoltech Center for Open Learning
 #SkoltechZaryadye Project
When? Tuesday, November 19, 2019, 7 p.m.
Where? Nature Center, Zaryadye Park
 
Only the most resilient, the fastest and the clingiest have survived through millions of years of the evolutionary race: mosquitoes with their ultra-sensitive blood sensors, frogs with their saliva 50 times stickier than modern polymers, and geckos with their incredibly prehensile paws ‒ superabilities that even Marvel and DC would envy!
Borrowing technology from nature is not uncommon: looking at spiders, scientists invented hydraulic pumps, armor and telephoto lenses. The study of lizards prompted the idea of adhesive tape and the cockroach exoskeleton evolved into a robot capable of squeezing into the tiniest of openings. Ilya Gomyranov of Skoltech will talk about the miraculous abilities of animals and the modern-day technologies inspired by the wild world.
 
Ilya Gomyranov is a zoologist, popular science communicator, wildlife photographer, and winner of the Russian award “For Fidelity to Science”. 
Suitable for 8+
The lecture will be given in Russian.
 FREE
