In a recent ASME article, “9 Bioinspired Medical Technologies,” by technology writer Cassie Kelly highlights the ways scientists are being inspired by nature in the development of innovative medical devices. From an adhesive that greatly improves biodegradable bandages by mimicking the surface of a gecko’s feet to electric eel-inspired power sources for artificial organs, these advances represent the many ways that nature inspires the continuing research to find new medical devices for human application. I invite you to read this very fascinating story. – Dr. Tom
