Colin Purrington<p>If any of you nature photographers ever capture images of insects with badly damaged wings, email them to Andrew Mountcastle at Bates College. He studies how insects crash into things and has made a public request (on Bluesky) for pics. He wants them for presentations and promises to add credits.

nickysjones<p>I’m Nicole, a PhD researcher in Biomechanics at UniSQ, studying exercise-induced muscle damage, repeated bout effects, and neuromuscular adaptations to eccentric exercise. My work explores how muscles adapt, recover, and build resilience, with applications in sports science and rehabilitation.
