LH: How do you organize the work the students do in Biomotion? BF: They hear lectures and discuss topics for about half of the course, and then they do projects. I ask them to work in teams to design something that moves, inspired by biology. For example, they might design the next Mars Rover, using principles of biological movement. They buy toys—construction kits, and they build their designs.

Robert Insall was born in London in 1965, into a family of architects, musicians and historians. To their great surprise, he was obviously scientifically inclined from an early age. He did a B.A. at Cambridge University, then stuck around in Cambridge for a Ph.D., where he got interested in Dictyostelium, followed by a postdoc in Johns Hopkins, where he got interested in chemotaxis and cell mov...

We are investigating the signal transduction mechanisms by which extracellular hydrophilic hormones activate genes. We use Dictyostelium discoideum as a model eukaryote because it is relatively easy to perform reverse genetics on this organism and it is also capable of development. We had earlier shown that extracellular cAMP behaves as a hydrophilic
