  • Mark Lee, Mimi Granlund and Matt Hubbard and the apparatus they built to help them understand how the roughness and size of a tongue would affect the amount of water an animal could lap up and still be efficient.  (Photos by John Froschauer) What exactly…

    specifically how tigers lap up liquids – as part of a PLU capstone project. Two years ago, physics major Matt Hubbard ’13 became intrigued by the subject when he encountered research taking place at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which analyzed the roughness and size of a tongue and its relation to water-column pull and strength. “I liked the fact that you could take a field of complex mechanics and relate it, in a tangible way, to an everyday occurrence,” Hubbard said. He worked on his project for
