Can anyone identify this creature? (Spotted today @UOW Innovation Campus)

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

Well done Dr Claire

[Prof Ann Rogerson @DrAnnMRogerson]

Proud mum moment! My daughter finally got to walk the stage for her PhD. Congratulations Dr Claire and her wonderful supervisors Snr Prof Sue Bennett @suebennett_edu and Dr Tiffani Apps @tiffani_apps. @uow #gradations2022 #thisisuow #weareuow

The image was produced by our collaborators at Honda R&D and represents the coiled structure of our artificial muscles artistically inscribed with equations from our mathematical models of the muscle training phenomenon.

Fantastic- will be watching with great interest

[Dr Richard Spinks 💉💉 @biologicalrich]

I think this team have the opportunity to do great things. Watch this space!! 🚀🚀🚀

Saying thanks to Prof Will Price today for his leadership and friendship over 32 years @uow . Good to hear that his ‘retirement’ actually means becoming an Honorary Prof and carrying on with research.

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

@rodneyemvickers @UOW Ha ha! Standing on the shoulders of giants!

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

Big turn out for our commencing #SchoolMMMB @uow engineering students - thanks to colleagues and student society reps for such encouraging words.

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

The crowd is building for @uoweis orientation for new students- exciting to see students back on campus @uow

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

@JPolymSci @UOW Always great to publish with @JPolymSci - one of the oldest (the oldest?) international journals in polymer science and engineering.

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

Excited to see our latest exploration of artificial muscles published today. Great to collaborate with Honda Research Institute - such a forward thinking company keen to advance radical new technologies.

This week marks my return to the School of Mechanical, Materials, Mechatronic and Biomedical Engineering @uoweis as Head of School after 5 years in the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials. What a great honour to represent some of @UOW 's oldest and newest disciplines.

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

@DrFaisalHai @uoweis @UOW I very much look forward to working with you @DrFaisalHai

[Metin Sitti @metin_sitti]

I am looking for a post-doc (expert on tissue engineering, mechanotransduction, or biomechanics) to study tissue (ECM) biomechanics using controlled mechanical stimuli via soft robotic surfaces. Please distribute around.

What an honour to be part of Ockham’s Razor show and podcast. But there’s so much to squeeze into just 10 minutes. Now I’m busy chopping, trimming and editing. We’ll get there somehow 😩

[James Bullen @jamesbullen]

A smorgasbord of superb speakers for our Ockham's Razor night of science talks which is tomorrow (!) at UOW's Science Space - $4 tickets still on sale - join @doctormcdougall @geoffreyspinks @marianwong10 @tonyokely @tbirtchnell and more. https://t.co/cNiqGLg8uB @ABCscience @UOW

@ProfZhaoMIT @MIT @hseas @xinyue1liu @chase_hartquist @ChongheWang @ImpossibleFoods @JELLO what a tasty topic!

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

@AllanEWRennie @UOWMakerspace Thanks Allan- there’s a PP group in Melbourne, so not far away.

[Prof Geoffrey Spinks @GeoffreySpinks]

Our @UOWMakerspace first attempt at injection moulding recycled bottle tops into a flower pot- we made half a pot! Looks like we need to pre-heat the mould!
