Janine's 12:

1. self-assembly: (a shell) self-assembling material, in and near the organisms' body, dipping a material into liquids (coming out at room temperature) to make ceramics like crystallization 2. CO2 as a feedstock: take CO2 to make bio-degradable plastics 3. solar transformations: fuel cells 4. the power of shape: bumps can increase efficiency (on the edge of an airplane wing), color without pigments - last few layers of a product play with light to create color 5. quenching thirst: pulling water out of fog/air 6. metals without mining: mine waste streams 7 green chemistry: we use all of the chemicals in the period table, life only uses some 8. timed degradation 9. resilience and healing 10. sensing and responding: 6mil car collisions 11. growing fertility: grow the capacity of this planet to create more opportunities for life 12. life creates conditions conducive to life - organisms have figured out ways to do what they need to do while thinking about the place they're doing it in (taking care of their offspring)
