MCZ faculty-curator [**George Lauder**](http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~glauder/) and postdoc [**Mehdi Saadat**](https://scholar.harvard.edu/msaadat/bio) were part of a team of evolutionary biologists and engineers that demonstrated a bio-inspired structure that could improve aerodynamic performance of airplanes, wind turbines, drones, and cars. Read more about the research in the [*Harvard Gazette*](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/02/in-aerodynamic-performance-sharkskin-model-offers-more-lift-less-drag/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Gazette%2020180208) and the [*Journal of the Royal Society Interface*](http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/15/139/20170828).
