The snow is finally gone and hopefully wont return for another couple months. I can’t tell you how much I have needed some sun and green…

A friend and colleague of mine, Huai-Ti,  just started a new blog following his research as a PhD candidate at Tufts University. He has been working on insect locomotion for the last 3 years, specifically focused on the Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta) as the model system for learning about soft-bodied locomotion.

Check out his blog and I am sure he would love to answer questions and get some feedback on what he is up to. He is at: http://morphingmorphology.blogspot.com/
