I have a new paper! We (@ZoologyUBC, @ubcmech) found that feather rearrangements during wing folding increase stiffness, preventing speed-dependent lift-reducing aeroelastic responses during gliding flight.

It was great to hear about the cool work done @C_A_Harvey's BIRD lab @ucdavis exploring 3D bird wing shape variation and its relationship to flight behaviour! #SICB2024@SICB_DCB_DVM
Looking forward to starting the new year with #SICB2024 in Seattle. If you want to hear me talk about flow sensing and how I make wings vibrate, come by to "Wings, limbs, and fins" on Saturday (Jan 6th) afternoon!
Check out this sneak peak on some exciting new work happening in the @UOBFlightLab. Researchers here are working with a much larger, interdisciplinary @WildDrone_EU team to develop UAV technologies for animal conservation use. (Video credit: Duncan Hine, Prof Tom Richardson)

Meet Dr Jasmin Wong (@robotjasmin), Postdoctoral Research Associate at @BristolUni. Jasmin conducts research on aeroelastic responses of flexible structures in nature, looking at how bird's feathers can be used for flow sensing during flight #WomenInSTEM#EngineersWeek#EWeek2023
@ChBruecker Thanks! Your work on feathers and whiskers for sensing is very very cool. I'm happy to get in contact and will send you my details via direct message.
@MorphComp Thanks for the interest! I'm planning on expanding the data set so no paper yet unfortunately. I replied to your direct message and am happy to talk shop anytime!
🐟 The Swimming Dead Fish 🐟
The fish wriggles against the currents that push it backwards. Nothing special in that.
The only thing is, this particular fish is dead. If you're streamlined and flexible, you can do a lot by doing nothing at all.

Fourier transforms are a tool used in a whole bunch of different things. Jez Swanson explains what a Fourier transform does, its relationship with epicycles and some different ways it can be useful [read more: https://t.co/re0oSzfvGe]
Comparative biomechanics, computational modelling and robotics. All wrapped up in elegant story telling and beautiful visuals. This study has nearly all of my favourite things and I'm feeling inspired!
@JohnNyakatura gets day 2 of #MusclesAndMotors at #SEB2022 underway with his talk on the multidisciplinary study of Orobates, a stem-amniote from the Permian, using #anatomy#biomechanics & #Robotics - fascinating study at #SEBconference

Lots of great looking posters at #SEB2022@SEBiology! If anyone is interested in mechanically coupled muscle systems involved in avian wing morphing, check out this beautiful poster by @fran_ciocca today (A315).
A fun two days learning about Project Starling, a modular infrastructure facilitating development and testing of single/multi-UAV controllers. Great work by Mickey Li and Rob Clarke @BristolRobotLab! More info:
