If you haven't seen the Biomechanics Exhibit at the Field Museum, your time is running out. It closes on January 4th 2015. It's a great display, very educational. It shows how we (and the diverse life around us) are biological machines. There are sections on teeth, bones, senses, flight, etc. It compares and contrasts the various methods that evolution has developed over the years. Here's the online link. Don't miss it in person.
While you're there, don't forget to say hello to our friend Sue!
