New paper out! We used RNAi to study the role of the rubbery protein Resilin in locust jumping. A pleasure to work with Evolutionary Biomechanics Laboratory and @Jef_and_Jeffers on this, a long time coming. Merry Christmas! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our paper on Velvet Ant venom is out at Current Biology! “Multiple mechanisms of action for an extremely painful venom” sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Velvet ants are among the most painful of all stinging insects. What makes them so painful? We used fruit fly larvae to find out 🧐 1/5

How do beetle horns take shape? A new #ProcB study theoretically examines the morphogenesis of complex 3-D exoskeletons: ow.ly/ZtyV50UATOV

Ever wondered how birds stand up? Our paper explores how emus use their muscles to stand up. We found that these large, flightless birds use large muscle fibre length changes, activations and forces. My 1st PhD chapter out now in @JEB! journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
