Can anyone identify this creature? (Spotted today @UOW Innovation Campus)
Well done Dr Claire
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.

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

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 😩
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. sciencespace.com.au/attracti… @ABCscience @UOW
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!
