Frank Fish presented a paper “Hydrodynamics of dolphin propulsion” at the 2nd Symposium on Voith Schneider Technology held June 4-6 in Heidenheim, Germany. He was featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer article, “Sea of Possibilities” discussing his research and how he developed a new wind turbine drawn from inspiration from the humpback whale’s flippers. In July, he presented an invited talk co-authored with T. Williams, T. Wei, and Paul Legac, “Vortex mechanics associated with propulsion and control in whales and dolphins” in the symposium “Linking Mechanics and Energetics” at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology held in Marseille, France. Professor Fish co-authored the article entitled “Energetics of swimming by the ferret: Consequences of forelimb paddling” with R. Baudinette in Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part A (2008) 150:126-143. He was quoted on the MSNBC website, Technology & Science, in an article on humpback whales.
