Hey, everybody! Dee Pigneguy is inviting us all to her book launch of "Nature's Techno Tricks'
Visit Dee at 6pm for 6.30 start, Thursday November 12, Takapuna Library, the Strand, Takapuna.
Just like Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th and early 17th centuries, todays scientists and engineers are realizing that nature holds the keys to some of the best ideas. Nature wastes nothing and uses minimal energy. Come to this book launch and find out more about this growing scientific field of biomimetics - the research, study and application of science found in nature in order to solve modern problems in engineering, materials, science, medicine and other fields.
RSVP to Dee Pigneguy on 09 444 9342, www.feedmeright.co.nz, or Papawai Press 09 445 2966, www.papawai.co.nz

Young People - Want to go to the Sub Antarctic?
Want to go to the Sub Antarctic?
Look out for the Enderby Trust Scholarships – they may pay up to 70% of your expenses!
Formed in 1998, the Enderby Trust is named after Charles Enderby, a cooper (wooden barrel maker) who embarked on several exploratory voyages in Antarctica and the southern oceans during the 1830’s. The trust, which is named so to acknowledge Enderby’s geographical study and exploratory activities, works with Heritage Expeditions who provide travel for successful applicants on their polar research vessel Spirit or Enderby. It is envisaged that after their trip their experiences and enthusiasm will create further awareness and appreciation of the subantactic area.
It is very easy to apply for a scholarship. All applicants (aged 18 - 30) need to do is write up to 400 words about why they are fascinated about the subantarctic area in the Pacific Ocean they wish to visit.
The 2009 closing date is October 30, however people who are interested future scholarships should contact the Enderby Trust on enderby@hotmail.com or write to the Enderby Trust at P O Box 29 529, Fendalton, Christchurch, 8540
