DESCRIPTION:We all recognize goo when we see it. It turns up in many place
 s and guises from food to playthings\, from frogspawn to medical ointments
 . But what makes a good ‘goo’ and can we control the ‘gooiness’? T
 here are many words to describe the consistency of these materials ranging
  from runny to viscous\, sticky and spreadable. I will describe the kinds 
 of molecules that can be used to make these materials\, why they have the 
 effect they have\, and how understanding them can be powerful for creating
  new medical treatments\, help to understand why shampoos don’t simply r
 oll off our hair and down the drain and control the way we appreciate food
  as we eat it. And all this lies in the domain of the physicist!
