Hanging around in the canopy
A mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata) with a mouthful of leaves, hangs upside down high in the canopy of the lowland forest, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
I'll be off-line for the next few days...too busy organizing a conference.

See a tiny robot suck up cargo as prep for drug delivery - Futurity
Magnetic fields power the tiny crawling robots that scientists are creating to improve drug delivery. If you’ve ever swallowed the same round tablet in hopes of curing everything from stomach cramps to headaches, you already know that medicines aren’t always designed to treat precise pain points. While over-the-counter pills have cured many ailments for decades, biomedical researchers have only recently begun exploring ways to improve targeted drug delivery when treating more complicated medical

Tiny, Tumbling Origami Robots Could Help with Targeted Drug Delivery
A new kind of hollow, pea-sized robot can roll, flip and jump to navigate its surroundings. It can transition from dry surfaces to pools of liquid with ease, making it fully amphibious. Its ability to use different types of motion in multiple environments—while carrying a cargo—sets it apart from other wee machines, most of which can only move in a single way. The new bot’s versatility also makes it uniquely adept at working its way through, over and around obstacles. One day its small size and

New nanoparticles aid sepsis treatment in mice
Sepsis, the body's overreaction to an infection, affects more than 1.5 million people and kills at least 270,000 every year in the U.S. alone. The standard treatment of antibiotics and fluids is not effective for many patients, and those who survive face a higher risk of death.
