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.

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.

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 😩.
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. @ABCscience @UOW.
