Philosophy and religious studies double major Camilo Garzón ’15 recently represented the Biomimicry Institute at the 2025 Bioneers Conference hosted at the University of California, Berkeley, with the goal of helping solve humanity’s biggest challenges through the adoption of biomimicry (nature-inspired innovation) in education, culture, and industry.
As the recently named program director of AskNature—a Biomimicry Institute initiative dedicated to creating nature-inspired solutions to design problems—Garzon participated in a panel presentation titled “Bringing Biomimicry into Action.” The action-based workshop facilitated discussions on key topics connected to the core tenants of biomimicry and provided practical strategies and insights to help participants apply biomimicry principles to their own work.
A writer, editor, filmmaker, multimedia producer, interdisciplinary artist, and award-winning poet, Garzón works in a wide range of disciplines and media, including science storytelling on topics like culinary biodiversity, the decolonization of space exploration, and Colombian volcanology, paleontology, and Indigenous hydraulic systems.
