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.

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.

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 😩
James Bullen@jamesbullen

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/attraction/ock… @ABCscience @UOW

Mechanics of Soft Materials final presentation. A group of @MIT and @hseas students discussed relations among chewy, crispy, tender, juicy; modulus, permeability, resilience, fracture toughness; chain density, length, entanglement, folding. Food is great inspiration for science.

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!
