I’m excited to share our paper on the evolution, dynamics, and robophysics of insect flight that just came out in nature: rdcu.be/dnJlh
This was a wonderful collaboration with the nick gravish lab and led by Jeff Gau, brett, @springsNwingsand Ethan Wold (1/11)

It feels surreal that this paper is finally out! Check out this great thread summarizing our work on the physics, physiology, and evolution of insect flight.

So thankful to have been part of this amazing collaboration.

I received this email too. Once without filling in the missing details.

Our work, led by Lisong Yang, is now out in PNASNews. Here, we show alcohol droplet evaporation in humid environments can lead to water condensation and solutal Marangoni flows, strongly modulating the shape of the drop and its deposition patterns. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

2) muscle synergies (described using PCs) reflect the uncontrolled manifold and not the task-relevant directions.

If you have any thoughts or comments, please do share them!

Excited to share my preprint titled 'The minimum intervention principle of optimal control relates the uncontrolled manifold to muscle synergies': biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Updates:

The communication link is established between the Ch-3 Lander and MOX-ISTRAC, Bengaluru.

Here are the images from the Lander Horizontal Velocity Camera taken during the descent.

Single author preprint (to be paper) from Neelima Sharma on how symmetries associated with mechanics manifest in the neural control of muscles.

Although it's only a preprint, I would still like to thank a few people. Madhu Venkadesan and Francisco Valero-Cuevas for sharing the data. Madhu Venkadesan and Ali Yawar for being generous with their time during discussions.

Shouting out an amazing opportunity to start your lab at Simon Fraser. Great scientists and a great location!

Yay Gregory S. Sawicki !!

Keep an eye on him, Nikos Papachatzis, to make some noise in foot #biomechanics research in the years to come.

In his #JEB100 ECR Spotlight, Nikolaos Papachatzis tells us how an inspirational lecture by Iraklis Kollias reset the course of his career and how he hopes his current JEB study, investigating the impact of heel size on #walking , will improve #shoe design
