Our marine bio class did IVF for sea urchins and below are videos of the 3-day old larvae. The larvae are called "plutei" and they swim around with cilia and collect single celled algae to eat.

Grip strength is higher in taller people, but height only explains 32% of the variation in grip strength. Data from Human Anatomy & Physiology course.

Human anatomy and physiology students vary in height 8% by s*x. But they vary by 76% in sustained grip strength.

Our students in the human anatomy and physiology course are this week recording electrical activity from their own muscles. They showed a linear increase in muscle activity with increase weight being supported. Below that is a recording of a muscle action potential after stimulating a nerve. A reminder that your body operates on electric signaling!
