Articulating Paper cuts into art forms Tells stories quietly. For more, see nature.com/articles/s4358…
and now onto bodies - starting with the experimental exploration of vertebrate gastrulation modes: tinyurl.com/m94b4zhu, and continuing by recreating a gastrulation morphospace: tinyurl.com/y86u9xsb
and then continuing with - the beak of the finch - tinyurl.com/yc6uxcj9 followed by a broader study of beaks across other avian radiations: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… ...
At last we are at the beginning! Linking natural history and natural philosophy, an evolutionary approach to developmental questions starts with the ... egg (which did come before the chick!): tinyurl.com/2cdtjrkm
"It is not birth, marriage or death, but gastrulation which is truly the most important time in your life'," said Lewis Wolpert. Can one create a gastrulation phase-diagram linking natural history and natural philosophy?... see seas.harvard.edu/news/2023/12/c…
Shining steelpan songs, 2d xylophone rhythms, sunsets on islands! Localization landscapes for elliptic operators -> confined eigenmodes -> melodious percussion! Read royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… or hear youtu.be/j-_LHVn6RHE
What is the cognitive basis for visual image categorization into small/large, animate/inanimate, faces/places etc.? Robustness -> invariant measures combining geometry + statistics -> contour curvature histograms that are neurally plausible! For more, see tinyurl.com/2p97pbfk
Continuing the story of growth, form, and function of avian beaks, linking natural history to natural philosophy, from finches to honeycreepers ... tinyurl.com/3397xs35
In multi-agent societies, excessive cooperation -> senescence/aging, while excessive competition -> cheating/cancer. So is there an optimal level of competition to delay (the inevitability of) aging? Yes! For more, see tinyurl.com/mvap8e28

Postdoc position. Aim: Quantify consumption and waste production in a 450 person residential community. Approach: design/deploy sensors, statistical analysis and math modeling, outreach. Goal: guiding policy for climate change adaptation. Apply here academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12217
Physical intelligence? Emergence of cooperative excavation in ants and r(obotic)ants follows from simple local rules and a malleable environment that is a dynamic communication channel. See elifesciences.org/articles/79638
A saw bent into a J sounds dull. But shape it into an S and it can sing! Why? Because of an inflection line in curvature associated with broken (inversion) symmetry - leading to topologically protected modes. For more, see here pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Brushing a hair curl links topology, geometry, mechanics and some pain (hopefully not too much!). A minimal model of the process is that of a single tine combing a double helix. For more, see pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
How can one reconfigure a compact planar shape into another ? And do so without changing any lengths/angles? Kirigami shows a new way ... and also solves an old problem by cutting a circle to square it. See journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…
Simple neutrally stable structures can be stitched together into assemblies to create (almost) any shape - totimorphs! See pnas.org/content/118/42… and seas.harvard.edu/news/2021/10/s…
