I ran into someone today who unironically had this degree. They were unable to actually explain it to me, and I was unable to verify they were not a skinwalker. The website doesn’t actually say what it is.

I’m convinced biomimicry professional is skinwalker training

It doesn't have to be skinwalker training.

It could be doppelganger training.

(Real answer: Biomimicry is a type of engineering/design where you make things that replicate nature. Like those "gecko gloves" that replicate a real gecko's fingers and toes to get incredibly strong grip)

I have to admit that page is very fluffy and never says what biomimicry is, just repeats the word over and over again. It's odd for a page about "what we do".

But that site has a page called What is Biomimicry? that lays it out pretty well with examples.

No need to get some AI to give you an answer.

Although interestingly neural networks are another example of biomimicry.

The page smells AI generated to me

Could be, or it could be a marketer just trying to shoehorn in talking points whilst sticking to a script that requires them to constantly refer back to Biomimicry™️. It's not well-written I'll admit that.

  1. wtf is a "skinwalker"?
  2. people do not have degrees "ironically" so why do you need to specify "had this degree unironically"?
