Congratulations to graduating senior Georgia Shelton (Farrell Lab) awarded the Hoopes Prize for her senior thesis, "The Biodiversity of the Bees at the Arnold Arboretum"!

Postdoctoral Fellow, Heidi Fisher (Hoekstra Lab) collaborated with L. Mahadevan to create a mathematical model that simulated swimming sperm showing that while groups of sperm don't swim faster, they do swim straighter, which actually increases their speed. The study was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B was featured in...
