Steno was also elected to the Accademia del Cimento (Experimental Academy), a body of researchers inspired by Galileo's experimental and mathematical approach to science.
Steno's anatomical studies focused at first on the muscular system and the nature of muscle contraction -- for example, he used geometry to show that a contracting muscle changes its shape but not its volume.
Steno's contemporaries Robert Hooke and John Ray also argued that fossils were the remains of once-living organisms.
