09/16/2021: The lab welcomes Dr. Bingyang Zhang as a new post-doc to the lab. Dr. Zhang will be working on biological puncture mechanics as part of an NSF grant the lab has.

07/05/2021: Dr. Anderson is a coauthor on a new paper in TREE out online. This paper arose from an NSF funded working group Dr. Anderson attended in 2019 which strove to create a framework for understanding phenotypic diversity by utilizing ecomechanical models.

04/16/2021: New paper on the influence of dynamics and substrate in egg puncture published by undergrad Daniel Clark in collaboration with the Hauber Lab at Illinois.

04/08/2021: Press release for a new study by undergrad Daniel Clark on egg puncture in nests. The full paper will be published in JEB.
