  <title><![CDATA[Why Flamingos Are More Stable on One Leg Than Two]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Here&#39;s how award-winning science writer and author <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Yong">Ed Yong</a> of The Atlantic&nbsp;decribes the new <a href="http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/13/5/20160948">research</a> from Tech&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="http://biosci.gatech.edu/people/young-chang">Young-Hui Chang</a> and <a href="http://neuromechanicslab.emory.edu/people/ting-lena.html">Lena Ting</a>&nbsp;on how and why flamingos can stand on one leg for long periods of time. The subject matter is a great match for Yong&#39;s talents; with a lively writing style, he describes the efforts that Chang and Ting put in to&nbsp;understand this unique flamingo habit. Chang is a professor in the School of Biological Sciences and director of the <a href="https://pwp.gatech.edu/cnl/">Comparative Neuromechanics Laboratory</a>. Ting is a professor in the <a href="https://www.bme.gatech.edu">Wallace Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering</a>.&nbsp;</p>
