On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would be honored to invite you to be a chair/speaker while presenting about Microdesign using frictional, hooked, attachment mechanisms: a biomimetic study of natural attachment mechanisms—Part 3 … at the upcoming WGC-2021.

WGC had been successfully organized in Singapore, Macau, Shanghai, Qingdao in the last eight years. More than 3,000 famous experts and scholars from around the world have participated in our WGC.

With the kindly praise and suggestions from our participants, we are confident in organizing WGC-2021 which would be better and more successful!

Aiming to promote an international exchange of scientific knowledge and experience in the field of gene, life science, biotechnology and biopharmaceutical, the scientific program of WGC-2021 will include plenary/keynote lectures and session talks as well as poster presentations under 6 major themes, mainly focused on break throughs in gene, advances genomics & genetics, new research of DNA and RNA, focus on basic research, the frontier research of life sciences, new biotherapy discovery, emerging areas for medicine applications, robust technology development, and cutting-edge Biotechnology. We certainly believe that WGC-2021 will provide a variety of opportunities to exchange ideas and expertise as well as network with worldwide research groups.

We expect your precious comments or suggestions; also your reference to other speakers will be highly appreciated. We look forward to receiving your replies on the following questions:

I am constructing this because I think there is a movie in my story.  Some of the things that have gone on have been miraculous, from eureka moments to those of deep depression.  This site is currently under construction and I hope to have it finished in two weeks time.

Have a look at the new site.

Contextualising my work on hooks, let me say that the end goal is to solve the age old question, how do insects walk on walls and windows and the ceiling?  This is where future work lies, the near future.  Current MEM technology exists only ion the form of micron thick layered structures, but soon we will be manufacturing structures at this scale.

My research gave rise to a product mimicking the burdock hook, but what really is of interest lies in the depths of part 2, the imaging of tarsii.  If they weren’t so difficult to draw on solidworks I would be way ahead.

Hi Friends

As you will see the blog is having a facelift.  The subject matter remains the same but now I am applying more insight for you to show you what we can do now, or in the near future.

You will see I have written two new chapters so far, an introduction and a title chapter.

Thanks for you time

Bruce
