This award will help defray travel expenses for participants in a symposium and workshop at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in Austin, Texas, in January 2020. Plants and animals each have unique solutions for mechanical problems, including sticking to surfaces, folding, dispersal, and responding to mechanical loads. Several of these solutions have been sources for bio-inspiration, such as self-cleaning surfaces inspired by the lotus leaf. The symposium brings together plant and animal researchers that tackle similar problems in different systems under the unifying theme of "biological solutions to mechanical problems that might lead to engineering applications." A diverse group of researchers will exchange ideas that cross scales at an exciting frontier of trans-disciplinary research. As part of this symposium, conference participants will have the opportunity to consult with science communication experts to showcase their research to the general public and other stakeholders through effective press releases and social media posts. Pre-conference and on-site meetings among the symposium presenters will facilitate collaborations and preparation of scientific manuscripts. This symposium will result in the publication of original research papers, research reviews, and perspectives in a special issue of a scientific journal. The special journal issue will be complemented by a lesson plan for college instructors to facilitate the use of symposium special issues as textbooks or supplementary instructional material in their courses.Plants and animals evolved often complex solutions to the same physical problems. Transferring those solutions into biomimetic materials and processes comes with new challenges, such as scalability. To understand and transfer biological solutions to physical problems, an inter-disciplinary approach that combines research in biology, engineering, and physics has been used. A road less travelled is to explicitly compare the evolved solutions of animals and plants, as well as the experimental approaches used by researchers in these fields, which are two goals of the symposium. The symposium will foster intellectual exchange among scientists who share a given research question, yet address it from different angles, using different model systems and approaches, with a focus on the topics of adhesion, locomotion and dispersal, and response to mechanical loads. The symposium offers a synthesis of ideas while highlighting the work of diverse, emerging investigators from the US and abroad. The symposium will include a workshop on public outreach, which will help scientists to promote their research to the public. Additional engagement opportunities will be provided during online breakout discussions and networking sessions. Professional networking and collaborations will be facilitated as scientists produce career-relevant deliverables, such as scientific publications (original articles, a more historical review article and a forward-looking perspective article focusing on remaining challenges and urgent areas of inquiry) and products that support dissemination to the public (press releases, blog posts, podcasts, social media posts). Additionally, the symposium organizers will collaborate with educational experts to develop an educational module based on using the symposium publications as a textbook or textbook supplement in courses on comparative physiology, comparative biomechanics, biomimetics, and integrative biology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将帮助支付参加研讨会和研讨会的与会者的差旅费在社会的整合和比较生物学在奥斯汀，得克萨斯州，在2020年1月的年会。植物和动物对机械问题都有独特的解决方案，包括粘附表面，折叠，分散和响应机械负载。这些解决方案中有几个是生物灵感的来源，例如受荷叶启发的自清洁表面。该研讨会汇集了在不同系统中解决类似问题的植物和动物研究人员，其统一主题是“可能导致工程应用的机械问题的生物解决方案”。“一个多元化的研究小组将在跨学科研究的一个令人兴奋的前沿交换跨越尺度的想法。作为本次研讨会的一部分，与会者将有机会与科学传播专家进行磋商，通过有效的新闻稿和社交媒体帖子向公众和其他利益相关者展示他们的研究。研讨会主持人之间的会前和现场会议将促进合作和科学手稿的准备。这次研讨会将导致原始研究论文，研究评论和观点在科学杂志的特刊上发表。该特刊将由大学教师的课程计划进行补充，以方便将研讨会特刊用作课程中的教科书或补充教学材料。植物和动物进化出了通常复杂的解决方案来解决相同的物理问题。将这些解决方案转化为仿生材料和工艺带来了新的挑战，例如可扩展性。为了理解和转移物理问题的生物解决方案，采用了一种结合生物学，工程学和物理学研究的跨学科方法。一条少有人走的路是明确比较动物和植物的进化解决方案，以及研究人员在这些领域使用的实验方法，这是研讨会的两个目标。研讨会将促进科学家之间的智力交流，他们分享一个特定的研究问题，但从不同的角度，使用不同的模型系统和方法来解决这个问题，重点是粘附，运动和分散以及对机械载荷的响应等主题。研讨会提供了一个综合的想法，同时突出了来自美国和国外的各种新兴研究人员的工作。专题讨论会将包括一个关于公众宣传的讲习班，这将有助于科学家向公众宣传他们的研究。在线分组讨论和网络会议期间将提供更多参与机会。将促进专业网络和合作，因为科学家们制作与职业相关的交付品，如科学出版物（原创文章、更具历史意义的评论文章和侧重于剩余挑战和紧迫调查领域的前瞻性观点文章）和支持向公众传播的产品（新闻稿、博客帖子、播客、社交媒体帖子）。此外，研讨会组织者将与教育专家合作，开发一个教育模块，将研讨会出版物用作比较生理学、比较生物力学、仿生学和综合生物学课程的教科书或教科书补充。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
