Excited to share our review of insect respiration, which made the cover of Nature Reviews Physics! 🦋🌬️
Our March issue is live!
🐝Mechanisms of insect respiration
🥶Principles for demonstrating condensed phase optical refrigeration
🤖Physics-driven learning for inverse problems in QCD
🗣️Comments on the Cold War & quantum education, and intersectionality & emergence

Michael Dickinson of @caltech.edu gave the 2025 Granata Memorial Lecture @virginiatech.bsky.social Monday on the neurobiology & biomechanics of fruit fly flight. 🪰 Fascinating—these insects use a neural gyroscope to stay oriented mid-air! #GranataLecture #VTME #Neurobiology #Insects #Biomechanics

Had a great visit to @msstate.bsky.social last week—really enjoyed sharing my research and connecting with such an engaged and curious group in Physics & Astronomy.

Thanks to Lamiaa El Fassi for the warm welcome and kind invite!
