Snake at a party!

As promised, here is one of the pictures of the guest of honor (by which I mean the snake) at last Tuesday's nonlinear waves party, hosted by Ricardo Carretero-Gonzalez of SDSU. Enjoying his company with the snake (by purposely looking much more harrowed than he actually was) is Keith Promislow of Michigan State.

Forthcoming: a model of the food that the snake is currently disgesting (apparently, that would be the softer stretch of the snake's body) as some sort of propagating wave.
