Since 1989, Professor Gizmo Gearloose (aka Christine Buik) has been providing programs to delight and inspire people of all ages with live animals, storytelling, music and audience participation. Christine joins Nate on this episode of The Show About Science to imagine what man made inventions may have been inspired by plants and animals. Plus, Nate visits the Sycamore Public Library to see Professor Gizmo Gearloose in action.

Music on this episode was written by Jeffrey and Theresa Brooks.
