I'm in!
It took me forever to find the comment post button.
Anyways, John and I are working on editing and designing the Adhesion page. I hope he invited all of you. I'll invite all of you just in case.

I'm in! Is the adhesion team starting a blog as well?

Thank You all,

experimentation

vary concentrations of the ballistic gel components to vary the density.
Need to find if there is a correlation between density and elastic modulus of the gel.
If so, what can this tell us about changes in muscle elasticity as a function of postmortem interval.

Testing would be:

Ballistics Gel
Pig muscles (fresh and then preserved ones)

HYPOTHESIS: The freshly killed pig muscle will be less elastic than the preserved one due to rigor mortis. 

Cavitation

here are the latest ideas for cavitation nation:

liquid cavitation
plant cavitation (water hyacinth) air vacoules and fibers
time of death (stiffening of muscles)
