That's a wrap on Digital Resilience! Learned about some great digital models being made and studied in new ways, and how this can feed into bioinspired robotics. Feeling inspired for the next symposium proposal too... ✨️ #SEBConference2026

Bright side to needing to go through 600 3D models after realising the script to auto-publish didn't include the 'free download' option is that I now have a highlights reel - those that didn't make 'best in show' are available to view (and eventually download 😂) here: sketchfab.com/Virtual_Muse...
