Mimi Koehl tinkers with machines. Some are so tiny they canaEURO (TM)t be seen by the naked eye, and some disappeared millions of years ago. But Mimi isnaEURO (TM)t a mechanic. SheaEURO (TM)s a biomechanist. Mimi Koehl uses engineering and physics to study the designs of living things that fly, swim, drift, and crawl. She loves solving riddles about how creaturesaEURO"from feathered dinosaurs to flying frogsaEURO"live and move. MimiaEURO (TM)s curiosity has led her into all kinds of natural neighborhoods. She has braved turbulent waters to explore how giant green sea anemones survive crashing waves. In Chile, while studying seaweeds, a rogue wave washed Mimi off one cliff and slammed her into another one. But nothing stops her desire for discovery. To uncover answers, Mimi has attached leashes to microscopic animals and created ingenious models using raspberry gelatin and even Silly Putty. Today Mimi searches the worldaEURO"and her imaginationaEURO"for answers to lifeaEURO (TM)s challenging mysteries.
