Engineers at the School of Engineering are taking inspiration from the designs of living things—designs that have been worked out in the Darwinian trials and errors of millions, even billions, of generations. One could say that it's all part of a massive, modern handoff of design responsibility, from the ponderous "blind watchmaker" of evolution to the faster and better-sighted tinkerers of the engineering world. / Johns Hopkins Engineering Magazine
