Emily Shepard and I received some great news, that our proposal for a special issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B on Flight was successful. We’re thrilled. The issue is due in the Autumn of next year. Contributors are world leaders on flight, and will be writing about a variety of interesting topics, including primary data papers, reviews and syntheses. Contributors include (in no particular order): Michael Dickinson, Bret Tobalske, Robert Dudley, Andrew Biewener, Tatjana Hubel, Pat Butler, Susanne Akesson, Judy Shamoun-Baranes, Ty Hedrick, Shane Windsor, Richard Bomphrey, Hao Liu, Sanjay Sane, Graham Taylor, Jason Chapman, Anders Hedenstrom and more.
