Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
Governance means different things to different people, but what truly matters to me is building systems that share power rather than seize it. I imagine resilient structures that adapt, nurture well-being in many forms, and thrive on transparency and shared commitment. First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why Plants can be reciprocal and help each other. For example, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, which form sheaths around roots, help restore soil and make plants more resilient, especially in the face of climate change. I want to create a system inspired by the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi living model of resilience. By mimicking their metabolism and distribution, we could recover and manage resources more wisely, whether in organizations, food systems, or conservation efforts. Imagine a biological pump that naturally generates, transports, and processes information, strengthening our collective resilience.
