**L. Mahadevan's** research in the [Journal of Royal Society Interface](http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/14/128/20170001) uses mathematical models to form a theory of how stems and shoots develop a sense of self and environment to grow in the manner they do. More information and videos can be found at the [School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)](https://www.seas.harvard.edu/news/2017/03/stem-s-sense-of-self-contributes-to-shape) and [Phys.org](https://phys.org/news/2017-03-mathematical-framework-diverse-stem.html).
