The virtual amphitheater in Second Life where biomimicry expert Janine
Benyus is scheduled to speak in February.
Unlike the real world, the virtual world inside Second Life is not about to be threatened by climate changes, a sudden sea level rise, an unexpected temperature drop, or a series of tsunamis and snowstorms (that is, not unless its creator Linden Research decides to introduce a string of code to cause these disasters). Nevertheless, environmental concerns from the real world are spilling into the virtual world.
On Thursday February 18, at 7 PM Mountain Time/6 PM Pacific Time, biologist, researcher, and writer Janine Benyus of the Biomimicry Guild will speak live (if one can use that verb for an appearance in a digital world), appearing as an avatar before the Virtually Speaking Amphitheater on CommonWealth Island in Second Life. If you're a green-minded citizen of the virtual world, better retrieve your long-lost password and prepare to teleport yourself there.
The amphitheater inside Second Life is the digital space from where Virtually Speaking's host Jimbo Hoyer interviews his guests. BlogTalkRadio plans to broadcast the same talk in audio. Call in number for the show is (646) 200-3440.
Benyus is the author of Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. She describes Biomimicry as "an emerging discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature's designs and processes (for instance, solar cells that mimic leaves)."
