Congratulations to Patek Lab graduate student @JasonPDinh for doing top flight PhD research while bravely and thoughtfully pursuing his dream career in the science world.

JEB is kicking off its 100th year at the #SICB2023 meeting in Austin, Texas, 3-7 January, so make sure you stop by booth 507 to pick up some great JEB goodies

A big congratulations to Patek Lab graduate @JasonPDinh on his stellar PhD defense yesterday. Dr. Jason Dinh, PhD!

Our new collaborative pub integrates experimental & math modeling to reveal extraordinary latch dynamics & ultrafast spring propulsion of NC snapping shrimp Journal of Experimental Biology Duke Marine Lab Sarah Bergbreiter Robot Form and Function Lab Sarah Longo zanne cox & Ben Schelling journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Congratulations to @JasonPDinh for a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary pub - tackling the experimental intersection of behavior, assessment, scaling & biomechanics in the ever-amazing cavitation-shooting snapping shrimp of NC Duke Marine Lab besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Our new study of the first emergence of ultrafast, cavitating snaps in "baby" snapping shrimp is a product of Jacob S. Harrison 's patience, curiosity and determination to measure these minute creatures. Congratulations, Jacob! Duke Marine Lab

One year paid internship available in the Patek Lab. Apply ASAP if you are interested in evolutionary biomechanics! Details and requirements are listed in the job posting: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/24561

Check out our new JEB review article! We explore how small organisms use spring propulsion and latch mediation to control cascading processes of energy release - ultimately transforming small amounts of energy into energy dense events.

Check out the reviews, commentaries, research papers, and early career researcher highlights in our centenary special issue focused on comparative biomechanics #biomechanics SICB DCB-DVM Journal of Experimental Biology Thank you to @birdBiomech & Sanjay Sane who helped lead this effort.

Congratulations to Dr. Zanne Cox zanne cox, former Patek Lab grad student, Impulsive MURI team member, and Duke research scientist, on launching the next chapter of her career as Senior Analyst at DEFCON AI. We are so proud of you!

A happy moment that truly marks the grand finale of the PhD journey. Congratulations to @JasonPDinh on his hooding!

To celebrate #JEB100 we are launching two new grants to support junior faculty within five years of setting up their first lab: Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants and ECR Visiting Fellowships. Deadline 15 July 2023. To find out more go to biologists.com/grants/kicksta…

Announcing a new paper category at the Journal of Experimental Biology: Theory and Modeling. Our goal is to encourage great research at this interdisciplinary intersection of experimental biology and modeling. Check it out! journals.biologists.com/jeb/pages/arti… Journal of Experimental Biology

In her #JEB100 Conversation Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sheila Patek The Patek Lab discusses the power of interdisciplinary research & how she would tell her younger self to believe in her lived experience when encountering career challenges Read the article here journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

The fully formatted eLife paper is out! Congratulations to @JasonPDinh on this spectacular example of the power of experimental integrative organismal biology.

Congratulations to Sophie Hanson, Billy Ray and Arvind Santhanakrishnan on this new study of mantis shrimp locomotion. academic.oup.com/iob/article/5/…

Congratulations to grad student Justin Jorge on this exciting and innovative study (and gorgeous datasets) demonstrating the tuning of plant elastic mechanisms for consistent projectile velocities. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…

Excited to launch our newest version of Muser - this link shows the power of data visualization to reveal both our impact and rationale for making academic research experiences open to all. muser.duke.edu/data

A postdoc position is open! Join our newly funded collaboration between the Patek Lab and Computational Optics Lab (Roarke Horstmeyer) lab at Duke. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/26341
