Preparing a conference talk? I made a short guide on how to automatically caption a video and create a transcript using Adobe Premiere Pro's new speech-to-text feature. docs.google.com/document/d/1Sv…

My SICB+ talk about pulvinus organs aka "plant muscles" should now be available in the Biomaterials session. Check it out when you have a chance! #SICB2022

Did you or someone you know incorporate a physical model or robot into your SICB+ talk? Let me know and I will add it to my growing SICB+ playlist: "Building Biology: Lessons from Physical Models"!

New preprint on the mechanics of movement in touch-sensitive plants! We dig into the functional morphology of pulvini (hydraulic plant "muscles") and connect what we find to ongoing research in the fields of muscle physiology and soft robotics. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
