DESCRIPTION:Mother Nature as a Green Materials Engineer\, and what\nScienti
 sts can learn from her about Self-Assembly\nDr. Christopher Barrett (Centr
 e for the Physics of Materials and\nDept. Chemistry\, 91ºÚÁÏÍø)\n
 \nThe more time that Scientists and Engineers spend working at the\ncuttin
 g edge of Advanced Materials development\, the more impressed\nmany of us 
 become with Mother Nature\, and the fantastic solutions\nshe has already p
 rovided through millions of years of evolution.\nMaterials like spider sil
 k\, sea shell\, and bone still represent the\ncurrent forefront of nano-te
 chnology and space-age high-strength\ncomposites. Processes like vision an
 d bio-compatibility are equally\nimpressively complex and challenging to u
 nderstand fully\, let alone\nto copy or improve upon. This talk will descr
 ibe an emerging new\nguiding principle for Materials Development at 91ºÚÁÏÍø
 \, based on\nBio-Mimicry and Self-Assembly as an inspiration and a toolbox
 .\nIndeed\, there is much that current Chemistry\, Physics\, and\nEngineer
 ing can learn from History and Biology.\nOrganized by the Royal Society of
  Canada and 91ºÚÁÏÍø\nwith the express purpose of fostering commu
 nication between\nscientists in different disciplines as well as between s
 cientists\nand the public\, the Cutting Edge Lectures in\nScience are made
  possible through the generous\nsupport of Heather Munroe-Blum (91ºÚÁÏÍø Pri
 ncipal)\, Richard Levin\n(Dean of Medicine)\, Martin Grant (Dean of Scienc
 e)\, Anthony Masi\n(Provost) and Denis Thérien (Vice-Principal\, Research 
 and\nInternational Relations). Lectures are followed by a vin\nd'honneur r
 eception. Free\, everyone welcome.\n
