DESCRIPTION:And a brief abstract is: “The interaction between elasticity
  and surface tension\, or elastocapillarity\, is seen whenever hairy struc
 tures get wet. A common feature of this interaction is that clumps with a 
 well-defined size emerge (as in a wet dog\, a paintbrush or the eye-lashes
  of a crying toddler). The size of these clumps is traditionally understoo
 d as emerging from the equilibrium balance between surface tension and ela
 sticity. I will talk about the dynamics of the aggregation process and sho
 w how this can give us new insight into the process."
