As we come across particularly interesting Biomimicry related articles, we will post links to spread knowledge in our local region.  This article by @TreeHugger talks about four technologies that were inspired by sharks and while we don't have any sharks in the Midwest, they have quite a bit to teach us. 

• Paint That Creates More Efficient Windmills, Airplanes and Ships
• Shark-Inspired "Skin" for Cars to Improve MPG
• Shark Skin-Inspired Material Stops Bacterial Breakouts
• Basking Shark Inspires Improved Hydropower Turbine
