Here’s my #introduction! I’m a biology prof at Tufts University. In my group we study how fish swim, from many angles: fluid dynamics, biomechanics, muscle physiology, stability, neural control. I also teach science writing, from grants and manuscripts to pop sci, and I’m working hard to remove barriers to diversity in our grad program. I mostly lurk and read other people’s toots… #fish #biomechanics #FluidDynamics #SciComm #ScienceWriting #Muscle #academia #deij #physiology #phd
