As I began to consider it, I realized why that name sounded so familiar. He was at Duke University the same time I was and he collaborated with the P.I. for whom I worked. The photos looked remarkable like D. melanogaster embryos that are used in these experiments to determine myosin recruitment to lesions caused by laser 'cuts' during dorsal closure. I think that's why I recognized them. There are some really neat videos of this stuff on the web. I noticed that the photo credits for the story of laser surgery was credited to Shane Hutson.
