The clouds above Maine on April 23 were dark, swirling, and undulating, perhaps suggesting a psychedelic landscape painting — Salvador Dali meets Frederic Church?

The eerie cloud formations also provided a moment for Associate Professor of Biology Andrew Mountcastle to create this year’s “Best in Show” photograph for the annual Employee Photo Contest.

While visiting Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment, a sustainable farm in Freeport, with his family, Mountcastle captured this image of his son Oscar “running and jumping on the rock outcrops behind the farm” with his brother.

Like so many other skygazers on April 23 (social media was awash with photos of the clouds), Mountcastle said he was “captivated by the beautiful, dreamlike cloud formations.” He took the photograph with a Fujifilm X-S1 camera.

Many cloud names, like cirrus or cumulus, are well-known and understood. For that, we can thank the “Godfather of Clouds,” Luke Howard, an amateur British meteorologist who proposed a naming system for clouds based on Latin words in 1802.

While many familiar cloud names are now over 220 years old, the cloud formation above Maine on April 23 was officially named just six years ago. The cloud is known as “asperitas,” which draws from the Latin verb aspero, to make rough or uneven, and it’s the since 1951. The atlas notes the formation’s “well-defined, wave-like structures in the underside of the cloud.”

Like most distinctive cloud formations, asperitas take their shape thanks to wind currents and turbulence in the atmosphere. As a scientist who studies insect flight, Mountcastle knows something about air dynamics, and the clouds made him think of “the unsteady, turbulent air flows that often buffet insects during flight,” he said.

Unpredictable wind gusts frequently cause foraging insects to collide their wings against leaves and flower petals — a phenomenon that is a central focus of Mountcastle’s research. 

Jack Allard ’16

Former All-American lacrosse star released from hospital after long coronavirus battle — multiple outlets

On April 17, Jack Allard ’16, a two-time All-American lacrosse player and politics major at �ֲ���ý, walked out of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania as medical staff applauded.

Allard’s dramatic story — his weeks long fight with COVID-19 — had drawn steady attention from the national media but this happy chapter was particularly well-chronicled.

Not long after first showing COVID-19 symptoms in mid-March, Allard was hospitalized in New Jersey. He was placed on a ventilator and later airlifted to Philadelphia to take part in a trial for an experimental treatment. There, his condition improved day-by-day.��

Due in part to Allard’s young age and otherwise good health, his family speaking out, and his high school and college lacrosse teams rallying around him, his story drew international attention.

“He took personal responsibility for lifting the Bobcats to national competitiveness,” wrote Lasagna. “Most importantly, his teammates will tell you that he is a better and more giving person, a more caring mentor than he is an attackman.”

Five weeks ago, former standout and All-American Jack Allard was confirmed positive for . He was put on a ventilator. Last Thursday, he walked out of the hospital. For Jack and the hundreds more who have recovered, we’re optimistic.

From his family’s home in Ridgewood, N.J., Allard told Matt DaSilva of US Lacrosse Magazine that his story should serve as a cautionary tale.����

“We need to listen to our scientists and our doctors when they give us warnings and give us guidance,” he said. “People my age think it’s not going to hit them and, if it does, it’s going to be a slight flu. That’s clearly not true. It took me to my knees.”

In teaching stories of disaster, hope lies hidden in plain sight — Literary Hub

Writing in Lit Hub, Jane Costlow, the Clark A. Griffith Professor of Environmental Studies, reflected on teaching a course, “Catastrophe and Hope,” during the very kind of catastrophe her students read about.��

As an added layer, this semester is Costlow’s last as an instructor before she retires. For her, there will be no opportunity to incorporate the present moment into her future teaching. But she’s trying to convey to her students that upheaval like this need not be defeating.��

“My experience of life first in the Soviet Union and then in post-Soviet Russia had convinced me … that people in extraordinarily constrained political and economic conditions make lives of dignity, lives inflected with moments of joy and commitment,” says Costlow, whose background is in Russian literature.

“I wanted my students to read a book like Zhivago because it’s about a society that comes apart, lives that are profoundly—viciously—unsettled, and yet there are forms of endurance, too.”��

Also in Lit Hub, writer and writing professor Ru Freeman ’94 argued that creative writing faculty and university writing departments should prioritize not the craft of writing or the parsing of prose, but helping students understand their own experiences within their society and become “fearless” writers who speak truth to power.�� ��

“We must commit, as a collective, to bringing a fierce energy to our classrooms where a few students may develop an intensity of discomfort in their intestines, but most will finally identify their guts as being part of the body they inhabit,” Freeman writes.��

“With passionate effort, our students might yet go from being a concert of crows cawing in the same register, safe within the dull shades of uniformity, to articulating the music and iridescence of a truly creative menagerie.”��

T.S. Eliot and Me — The Ellsworth American��

Retired high school English teacher Todd Nelson ’78 wrote a column for the Maine Ellsworth American about reading the poems of T.S. Eliot and, after a fashion, encountering the poet himself.��

Nelson lived for a time near the London home where the late Eliot had lived. Nelson took to the poet in high school and college; Eliot’s “Four Quartets” helped inspire his senior thesis on religious poets.��

“Eliot follows me, bursts from his poems informing my own arc,” Nelson writes. “It’s a life’s work fathoming Eliot’s poems. Why not? It was a life work to write them; to weave the threads of memory, history, family experience, religion, and philosophy into self-study.”��

Piecing together the history of jigsaw puzzles — multiple outlets��

As quarantined Americans turn to jigsaw puzzles to pass the time, several news outlets have turned to Professor Emerita of Economics Anne Williams, an expert on toys and puzzles, for a history lesson.��

The first jigsaw puzzles were made with scroll saws — also known as jig saws — and were intended to teach geography, said Williams, author of The Jigsaw Puzzle, Piecing Together a History.��

During the Great Depression, families used jigsaw puzzles not only for entertainment, but for income. “They set up the saw in their kitchen or their basement, started making jigsaw puzzles and selling them to their neighbors or renting them out through the local drug store,” Williams told CBS News.��

In a time of crisis, a twentysomething rookie reporter learns the value of community newspapers — Anchorage Press��

As the coronavirus sent the country into a lockdown and sent people scrambling for information, Henry Colt’s thoughts turned to his recent stint as a reporter for the Daily Sitka Sentinel in Alaska. For this 2019 graduate, the pandemic underscored the value of community newspapers.��

“Newspapers, of which more than one in five have closed in the U.S. during the last 15 years, are as vital to their communities as potlucks, concerts, salmon-sharing and marine-invertebrate-themed house parties are to Sitka. And in Sitka, few things are more vital than the Sentinel,” Colt wrote in the Anchorage Press.

“Who else will tell you that an electric fishing boat took its maiden voyage? That your neighbor just won a $50,000 grant? That an injured great horned owl passed its rehabilitation test with flying colors?

“Who else, when crisis strikes, will tell you exactly what’s happening in Seattle, D.C., and Italy — then tell you exactly what’s happening at the Backdoor Café, the Pioneer Home, and Mount Edgecumbe High School?”��

Coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating a rural access crisis — Bangor Daily News��

For the Bangor Daily News, Mara Tieken, an associate professor of education and expert on rural education and issues, wrote that while images from the coronavirus pandemic are primarily urban — empty streets, subways, and airports — the crisis also poses serious risks for rural communities.��

In rural areas, hospitals tend to be sparse and under-resourced, fewer rural residents than urban dwellers have internet access, food banks are running low, and newspapers that deliver important information are scaling back or closing.��

“Right now, what rural communities need most is access: to health care, to the internet, to food, to information,” Tieken writes. “This access will help mitigate the worst effects of an already deadly crisis. But what is particularly frustrating about this moment is that these inequalities were identified long before now.”��

A �ֲ���ý biology professor has a notable role in responding to one of the tough problems created by COVID-19: the shortage of personal protective equipment, or PPE, for health workers and first responders.

Andrew Mountcastle, an assistant professor of biology whose teaching and research often employ three-dimensional printing, is among staff and faculty at three Maine colleges who are using three-dimensional printers to make PPE components.

During the past couple of weeks, Mountcastle has helped coordinate a team of staff and faculty at �ֲ���ý, Bowdoin, and Colby colleges who are “printing” visors for face shields that help protect the wearer from hazards including aerosolized coronavirus.

The shields with their 3D-printed visors will be supplied to local first responders, with the �ֲ���ý-made units and some from Bowdoin to be distributed by the Androscoggin County Emergency Management Agency starting next week.

“We’re very appreciative,” says ACEMA Director Angela Molino, whose agency assists first-response and other service organizations throughout the county, whether local government, nonprofit, or private sector.

Until �ֲ���ý organized this supply effort, the supply situation at the county level was “dire,” she explains. (�ֲ���ý has also donated supplies including nitrile gloves to ACEMA, as well as supplies to a local hospital.)

“Locally, PPE resources were not available,” says Molino. “We, along with other county EMAs, requested supplies through the Maine Emergency Management Agency. We have received some items, but supplies are limited globally so sourcing them locally is extremely helpful.” (�ֲ���ý has since been complemented by the Dingley Press, which, says Molino, donated protective gloves.)

In times of crisis, Mountcastle says, “I think there’s a pervasive narrative that a lot of people tend to respond in selfish ways. But when I look around, I see the opposite — I see just countless examples of people coming together to help one another.

“Once I became aware of all the potential for using 3D printers to create equipment that’s in high need amongst our healthcare professionals and first responders, for me it was a no-brainer. I feel it’s the least I can do to support members of my community and state who need it most.”

Endorsed by the National Institutes of Health, this particular shield design is remarkably straightforward: Each unit can be made from the 3D-printed visor, an elastic cord or band, and a transparent plastic projection sheet or page protector. “You just punch the transparency with a three-hole puncher and it snaps onto three pins that come out of the visor,” says Mountcastle.

The face shield project is part of a broader �ֲ���ý effort to help equip folks in the front lines of the COVID-19 fight. During the week of March 23, �ֲ���ý Facility Services gave 25 cases of hand sanitizer to Central Maine Medical Center. Mountcastle is also looking into 3D-printing parts for facial respirators for CMMC.

This week, the biology, chemistry, and geology departments donated supplies — more than 160 boxes of nitrile gloves, as well as sanitizer and surgical masks — to the ACEMA for distribution.

As for the face shield project, Mountcastle is working at �ֲ���ý with 3D–printing experts Branden Rush and Cori Hoover, academic technology consultants with Information and Library Services. Each equipped with a printer, Rush and Hoover started making the visors this week.

The larger group includes two people at Bowdoin: Erin Johnson, a professor of art and digital and computational studies, and David Israel, of Academic Technology & Consulting, who has a printer running 24/7. Participating at Colby is Assistant Professor of Biology Joshua Martin. Mountcastle is also reaching out beyond the academic community for 3D-printing capacity.

It was no simple thing to settle on a shield design to produce, says Mountcastle. “It’s a very dynamic scene. New designs are popping up almost every day.” Here, as in so many facets of life these days, “the ground is constantly shifting.”

Designated the “,” the open-source design the Maine group is manufacturing was adapted from an existing product by a group led by Design That Matters, a Washington-state firm that designs medical devices for global health in low-resource settings. (The feedstock for the �ֲ���ý printers is PLA, a biodegradable cornstarch derivative.)

At �ֲ���ý, 3D printing has been used to make parts for theater department stage sets and create classroom models for the biology and chemistry departments, among other applications. Mountcastle — whose area of research is, broadly, functional morphology and biomechanics, and specifically, mechanisms of insect flight — employs the technology often enough that the departmental printer lives in his lab.

“I’ve used 3D printing, probably, in most of the courses that I’ve taught at �ֲ���ý,” he says. “It’s a really powerful technique for conducting controlled experiments, because you can design a model and then change one aspect of that model while keeping every other morphological parameter the same.”

For instance, in a winter 2020 course looking at fluid dynamics in sponges, his students designed sponges for testing in a water flume.

“This is an example of how I can put purposeful work into play for myself.”

“With a couple presses of the button, they can double the pore diameter” without changing any other aspect of the sponge. And in his research, Mountcastle often turns to the 3D printer for parts that can’t be bought off the shelf.

A member of a couple of online engineering communities, Mountcastle explains that as COVID-19 spread and the potential for serious PPE shortages became apparent, “engineers and makers around the world started scrambling to design locally manufacturable, low-cost PPE to replace these stocks that were dwindling. There was a lot of activity around this in the online communities that I was part of.”

After determining, first, what type of PPE they could manufacture and second, what design seemed best — simple to make, easy to use and to sterilize after use — the Maine team settled on the Design That Matters configuration. (Universities in Idaho, New York state, Oregon, and Tennessee are among schools that are undertaking similar efforts.)

The face shield project for Mountcastle is, among other things, a timely demonstration of the ideal that drives �ֲ���ý’ Purposeful Work initiative.

“I’ve spent a lot of time talking to my students about what that means, and encouraging them to think about ways that they can align their personal values and sense of meaning with the work that they do,” he says.

“Now, this is an example of how I can put purposeful work into play for myself. I appreciate having that opportunity, and also to demonstrate that for my students, because it makes that philosophy more real for them. And so I feel very fortunate that I’m able to support members of the community in this way at this time.”

One day in a lab in Carnegie Hall, Ruth van Kampen ’19 of Brunswick, Maine, and Josh Turner ’20 of Andover, Mass., tied weights to a rectangular plastic brush and let it fall through a piece of synthetic fur, mounted vertically on a wooden contraption that machinist Peter Beach made for them.

Around them, other students in groups of two and three huddled around their own pelts, pulling brushes through the fur a certain number of times and measuring the amount of hair — or in one case, raisins — that came out. Assistant Professor of Biology Andrew Mountcastle moved among them, answering questions and, in one case, shaving excess plastic off a brush.

The scene was the culmination of an assignment for a course in which students designed, 3D-printed, and tested two different brushes, both modeled on one of nature’s best groomers: a cat’s tongue.

The course, “Bioinspiration and Biomimetics,” looks at how living beings can inspire human-designed objects, from wind turbine blades that take after insect wings to nonstick condiment bottles modeled after lotus leaves.

The class is “very integrative and interdisciplinary,” Mountcastle said. “The students are learning a little bit about 3D design, they’re learning about 3D printing, they’re learning about designing experiments to test the hypothesis, and they get to look at a lot of cool biological adaptations.”

Mountcastle became interested in the brushing potential of cat tongues after reading a scholarly article arguing that a brush modeled on the tongues requires less force than a regular brush to get through a section of hair. He decided to have his students design their own cat-tongue brushes, then test their effectiveness.

It’s a start-to-finish design process, Mountcastle said. “They can follow a trajectory that carries them all the way through understanding from a biological level and then moving into a creative process where they’re thinking about the performance implications of morphology” — that is, the form of an object — “and then testing that.” ��

Bridget Tweedie ’21 tests how effectively a brush pulls raisins, meant to represent fleas, from a piece of synthetic fur, while her lab partner, Wendy Memishian ’19, prepares to record data. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

First, the students looked at cats’ tongues under microscopes, where you quickly see why cats are such effective groomers. Their tongues are covered in hundreds of tiny curved spines, made of the same material as human fingernails. The spines, called papillae, are why cats’ tongues feel like sandpaper, and why they’re so good at getting loose hair and other debris out of fur. ����

The students sketched and measured the real cat tongues. Then, using the SketchUp computer program, they designed their two brushes: one modeled as closely on a real cat tongue as possible, the other with some modification — for example, increasing the spaces between papillae.

Josh Turner ’20 drills a hole in one of his brushes in order to attach a ring that will allow his team to tie weights to the brush, helping them measure the force required to drag the brushes through a piece of fur. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

In testing the brushes’ effectiveness, they’d be able to understand how particular aspects of cats’ tongues affect their performance.

The modifications varied. One group made the papillae more hooked than a cat’s. Another made the papillae longer; another changed the angle of the papillae relative to the surface of the brush. Van Kampen and Turner noticed that real cat tongues’ papillae had small “scoops” on the end; they designed the experimental brush without the scoops.

Each student group in Assistant Professor of Biology Andrew Mountcastle’s class made a brush modeled on a real cat tongue, as well as a brush with a modification. Eve Cinquino ’19 of Bethlehem, Pa., and Erin Murphy ’21 of North Andover, Mass., chose to change the angle of the papillae. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

The students also tested how well their brushes achieved different objectives. Some covered their pelts in loose fur, pulled their brush through, and carefully weighed how much hair the brush picked up. One group dropped raisins in the fur to represent fleas and compared their brushes’ ability to pull them out.

Van Kampen and Turner noticed that the scooped cat tongue brush seemed to require less force to get through the fur than did their scoopless brush.

Preliminary results for each group seemed to go in a similar direction: No matter the criteria for effectiveness or the modifications the students made, the brushes most closely resembling cat tongues did as well or better than the modified brushes. (There was one exception: The students who tested the brushes’ raisin-picking ability with one normal brush and one with longer papillae found that the modified one did better.)

From left, Joseph Ho ’20, Gavin Chen ’20, and Brianna Karboski ’21 measure the fur that each of their cat-tongue-inspired brushes picked up. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

That cat tongues generally worked better was interesting but not surprising, van Kampen pointed out — after all, cats’ tongues are the result of millions of years of evolution, as opposed to a couple of weeks with design software and a 3D printer.

“To find out it holds up in an experimental setting is really cool,” she said.

The �ֲ���ý faculty during Commencement 2014. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

In the 1970s and ’80s, President Hedley Reynolds began an expansion of the �ֲ���ý professoriate that markedly increased the number, as well as the quality, of the college’s faculty.

When Reynolds retired, in 1989, all but 16 of the 159 faculty members had been appointed during his presidency.

This strategy elevated both the value and the reputation of the �ֲ���ý education during the late 20th century, helping to make the college the national presence that it is today.

But another consequence of Reynolds’ strategy, and an inevitable one, is playing out in this century as the young fresh faces of the 1970s and ’80s approach retirement age.

In 2012, �ֲ���ý filled five tenure-track openings. Last year, it filled four. This year, out of a total of 11 long-term hires, nine individuals have filled eight tenure-track positions, including two postdoctoral spots that will convert to tenure track a year from now.

In short, as President Clayton Spencer noted in a recent letter to the �ֲ���ý community, the 2015–16 academic year was the college’s largest faculty-recruiting year in recent memory.

And the boom isn’t over: “This year we will search for 15 new faculty — 11 tenure-track, three long-term lecturers, and one senior, tenured position to lead the new Program in Digital and Computational Studies,” Spencer wrote.

Of course, as in Reynolds’ day, this influx of fresh talent amounts to an exciting process of renewal for the college. “What �ֲ���ý looks like in the future is at least partially revealed each time we hire a new faculty member,” Dean of the Faculty Matt Auer writes in his overview of the new tenure-track hires.

Let’s meet them.
