Our Postdoc Captain Sam Ginot took us out to ride his dad's boat into the sunset during the wonderful #SEB2022 #sebconference!

Congrats to @Peter_Th_R for winning the 2nd talk prize of the Mechanical Ecology session at #SEB2022 #sebconference for the 'Wackiest device they've ever seen'! Many thanks to the organizers @SEBiology!

Just heard an amazing talk by @EvoBiomech's David Labonte about shear forces and scaling of sticky feet!

If you missed Leandra's (@Bio2Nic) talk on a bioinspired micropalstic filter, you have a second chance to hear it at the Biomimetics session at #SEB2022 #SEBconference starting soon!

Excited to listen to a lot of interesting talks in the Mechanical Ecology session of #SEB2022 #SEBconference @SEBiology!

We had the great pleasure to host @KlunkCristian for two days in our lab! Cristian measured #biteforces of #ants for his #biomechanics studies using our #forceX setup!

Our student Atal working early morning shifts to get some #histology data on #earwig eyes! We're excited to see the results, complementing his #3d analyses on their #vision!

Congrats to @Peter_Th_R and Harry Sterken for the cover image on @RSocPublishing Proceedings B! (1/2)

Leandra visited the Aqauarium La Rochelle in France to film filter-feeding pilchards for her study on biomimetic filters. Thanks to @aqualarochelle for the support and the nice article (only in French): aquarium-larochelle.com/cons… #biomimetics #microplastics

Our newest group member Leandra Hamann @Bio2Nic is presenting her PhD-topic »Developement of a biomimetic filter to reduce #microplastic emissions« as part of the exhibition @SeaLifeOBH. In the next weeks, visitors can learn more about plastic litter, microplastics and solutions
