Advanced Centrifugal Microfluidics for Point-of-Care Applications

Flying snakes glide through the air, flattening their bodies to provide lift. But as they glide they seem to swim, undulating their bodies from side to side. Now a team in the United States has used motion capture technology to study snake gliding in precise detail. Their models reveal that undulation is vital for the snake’s stability as they glide from branch to branch.

In a COVID-19 special of Teach Me in 10, we're joined by Dr Clare Paterson, senior clinical R&D scientist at SomaLogic, who is currently working on using "omics" approaches to understand the biology of SARS-CoV-2.

The global scientific machine has jumped into action to combat the coronavirus, but there are still many unanswered questions surrounding the nature of immunity, whether the virus is mutating and how effective a vaccine may be.
