DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dominic Vella\, OCCAM -- University of Oxfordhttp://people
 .maths.ox.ac.uk/vella/\nPoking an object is a useful way of testing its pr
 operties in a range of everyday applications from cooking meat to inflatin
 g a bicycle tyre. It is also used  quantitatively in science to achieve t
 he same thing. In this talk I will discuss what we can learn from poking p
 ressurized elastic shells - a simple model of yeast ells. I will also show
  that poking can cause wrinkling and how the wrinkling pattern may be usef
 ul in its own right. This leads on to a more general discussion of wrinkli
 ng in systems with a large number  of wrinkles.
