    I will discuss some connections between the geometry and the mechanics of thin elastic objects with negative curvature. I will motivate the need for new "geometric" methods for discretizing the relevant equations, and present some of our preliminary work in this direction.

    This is joint work with Toby Shearman and Ken Yamamoto.
