Join the Brooklyn tech community online this Thursday, April 9th @ 5PM for a very special, virtual, Make It in Brooklyn Meetup Happy Hour, which will feature a panel of three Brooklyn founders discussing the topic of biomimicry.
Each of the founders is working on fascinating ideas based on the principle of biomimicry, and will share their stories during a half-hour long discussion followed by Q&A with the online audience.
Although an in-person meetup is irreplaceable, we - like the rest of the world - are adapting to the temporary new normal by finding alternative means of connecting and creating community. In keeping with the spirit of our regular MIIB Meetups, and in support of our local businesses, the first 50 attendees will receive a gift card good for one beverage at a selection of our fine local establishments (locations to follow).
So, grab a cocktail and join in with your comments, questions, and discussion!
Panelists:
Sissi Liu, founder and CEO of Metalmark, studies the iridescence, water resistance, and ultra-lightness of butterfly wings to inform the company’s design of an air purification system that converts toxic and odor-causing fumes into benign ones.
Danielle Trofe, founder and CEO of Danielle Trofe Designs, studies the use of mycelium, or mushroom fiber, to create beautiful lamps.
Pietro Filardo, the founder and CEO of Pliant Energy Systems, studied the movement of rays in the ocean as a marine biologist, and is applying that knowledge to the creation of submersibles that move through water more efficiently.
